Sachin Tendulkar fit to play again

In what would be good news for Indian cricket fans, Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar, who missed the ODI series against Sri Lanka due to an elbow injury, has declared himself fit and will take part in Irani Cup, just ahead of the all important Indo-Australia sereis.

Sachin had injured his elbow in the 3rd Test match against Sri Lanka in August 2008 and was forced to miss the following ODI series that India won 3-2. The Little Master had a poor run of form in the Test series and failed to topple Brian Lara as the top run scorer in this form of the game.

But now fit-again Sachin can finally achieve that milestone at home in the 4 Test series against World Champions Aussies. He will also feature for the rest-of-India squad which takes on Ranji Champions Delhi in the Irani trophy that takes place from September 24 to 28th at Vadodara.

"I will be participating in the Irani Trophy. Just now I'm fine," declared the master batsman at a promotional event for Aviva Insurance of which he is a brand ambassador.

BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah has already informed that the squad, to be selected by the senior national selection panel led by Dilip Vengsarkar, would be a virtual Test side barring those who would be representing Delhi like Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir and Ishant Sharma.
