BANGALORE (India), Oct 21: India’s coach Greg Chappell on Friday said star batsman Sachin Tendulkar was set to make a sparkling return to international cricket. “Sachin is well and truly on track to hit good form,” Chappell said ahead of a seven-match one-day home series against Sri Lanka starting at Nagpur on Oct 25.

Tendulkar had been out of action with an injured elbow since India hosted Pakistan in April but played in a domestic one-day tournament this month.

“Sachin has been batting well and his presence is good for other players,” Chappell said at the end of a three-day camp here.

“We are happy that from the fitness point of view he was fine during the camp. I think that’s a very positive thing,” he said.

“We have been planning some different combinations and hope to put up a good show against Sri Lanka,” said the former Australian captain.—AFP
