“I think it’s important to move on,” skipper Anil Kumble said on Wednesday as his team proceeded ahead with the rest of their Australian tour after a storm over umpiring blunders and three-Test ban on Harbhajan Singh.

The team, which had stayed put in Sydney following the storm, travelled to Canberra on Wednesday for a three-day game ahead of the third Test beginning in Perth from January 16.

“It’s nice to be playing cricket again. I look forward to this game (three-day Canberra game). It’s important to move on”, Kumble said.

“I think it’s important to move on, cricket is larger than individuals and I respect that and it’s important that we move on,” he said.

“The focus for us is to ensure that we get the best possible out of this game,” he said.

Looking back at the two days spent in Sydney, Kumble admitted it tested his side’s patience.

“It’s been tough, very difficult, because it’s a very serious issue. The entire team is together in this. board is backing us fully, we are all with Bhajji, it’s not easy but he seems to be in a good mood,” he said.
