Barath has not played any competitive cricket since February but has been working on improving his fitness and technique while he recovers, something he believes will help him become a better player.
"I am feeling much better and I have been training [with First Citizens Clarke Road United] and I feel fitter now than I ever was," Barath told the Trinidad Express. "I want to return to competitive cricket as soon as possible and hopefully I can return to international cricket for the India home series."
"I have been using the time to work on my fitness. As an international cricketer, fitness is very important so I want to be as fit as possible and I think that will auger well for me in the future."
He admitted that injuries have set him back and that he was frustrated by the layoff but was optimistic he would come back stronger and fitter because his recovery period was being extended to ensure that the injury would not re-occur in the future.
The opener will make his return to competitive cricket this weekend in the Eastern Credit Union Premier Division, playing for Clarke Road United against T&TEC Sports at Point Lisas.
"This game is going to be competitive and I am going to try my best to help Clarke Road move up the table."
