Tendulkar declared fit for Australia series
MUMBAI Sept 26: India’s most prolific batsman Sachin Tendulkar was declared fit on Friday for the four Test home series against Australia starting in Bangalore on October 9.
Tendulkar, 35, pulled out of a domestic match this week to recover from an elbow injury sustained during the third Test in Sri Lanka last month which forced him out of the subsequent ODI series. A board statement said the physiotherapist who assessed Tendulkar’s fitness at the National Cricket Academy had declared him fit. It said Tendulkar would join a training camp in Bangalore next week.
Tendulkar, who has become increasingly injury prone, is 76 runs short of retired West Indian Brian Lara’s world record of 11,953 Test runs.—Reuters
