Tendulkar Declared Fit for Australian Test

Posted on 27 September 2008 by

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.
