The ever-aggressive and overtly animated S Sreesanth says that he is making an effort to change his ways on field. After yet another staring session with the Aussies in Bangalore, he said he knows that it is only self-help that can change him. Excepts:

Q: Dhoni has said that he isn’t a headmaster and you aren’t a kid. If Sreesanth needs to change, he has to do it on his own.

• I have been doing meditation. There are times when you go overboard, that’s what people say I am kind of... I don’t hide my emotions. But nowadays, after getting all the attention, I don’t want to miss a game for the country. I don’t want to sit down in the backwaters and enjoy fishing. I want to be playing cricket, and I don’t want to miss that. When India are playing, I would love to play for the country as long as I am doing well. If I have to change for the good, I will change.

Q: Are you seeking anybody’s help to change your on-field body language?

• No one is helping me, but I am working things out on my own. You must be seeing in the last two games, hopefully I am getting there.

Q: Your thoughts on coming to Kochi?

• I always enjoyed being recognised — tell me who doesn’t want to be recognised? Even in my family, my brother-in-law is a playback singer and my sister used to be in the movies and serials, so my other sister was first-rank holder in industrial chemistry. In my house, most of them are pretty famous. I am lucky enough to be a bit more famous, but whenever we used to go to functions, people used to recognise them. Maybe, that was the motivation for me to get famous and do something and make my name. I don’t really believe in that — I just like to enjoy myself and play the game.
