Injury worry for Tendulkar
India batsman Sachin Tendulkar has suffered an injury during training ahead of his side’s tour of Bangladesh. The 34-year-old twisted his right ankle at Eden Gardens in the first practice session under the guidance of new cricket manager Ravi Shastri.
Tendulkar’s injury makes him a doubt for the two-Test series in May although he and Sourav Ganguly had been rested for ODI leg of the tour. The India squad, who failed to make it past the group stages at the World Cup, are taking part in a five-day training camp in Kolkata before leaving for Bangladesh on Monday.
Wicket-keeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik is due to link up with his team-mates on Sunday after getting married on Wednesday. VVS Laxman’s availability for the trip is not yet known, however, with the batsman not in attendance for the Kolkata meet-up due to feeling unwell.
India and Bangladesh will contest three one-day internationals as well as the two Test matches during May.
