Batting maestro Sachin Tendulkar has postponed his departure to South
Africa for treatment to his injured right toe by three days, the
secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) Jaywant
Lele said in Baroda on Wednesday.
Lele told PTI that the batting star was to leave for South Africa
tomorrow, to be treated by noted orthopeadic surgeon Dr Mark Fergusson
but has postponed his departure due to personal reasons.
Tendulkar skipped the on-going Test series in Sri Lanka due to the
injury sustained during the Triangular one-day series in Zimbabwe in
the last league match against the West Indies on July 4.
Tendulkar's stay in South Africa will depend on the advice of
Fergusson. However, he will be available for the Indian cricket team's
tour of South Africa beginning from October 1.
