Tendulkar uncertain for key Cup match
The Daily News
Sachin Tendulkar is doubtful for India's crucial last qualifying
match of the Aiwa Cup triangular tournament against Sri Lanka on
Sunday.
Captain Tendulkar decided to rest his stiff back and missed his
side's 41-run defeat by Australia on Saturday.
Tendulkar said: "I don't even like to miss out on a practice session
and here I had to miss a crucial match.
"I have to see how I feel tomorrow. It was just stiffness, but I have
to check again. When I woke up this morning I felt stiff."
Tendulkar nearly missed the limited overs tournament here after
straining his back and left the team's training sessions before their
arrival.
He missed two limited over tournaments in India and Sharjah earlier
this year after suffering excruciating back spasms.
India must beat Sri Lanka to have any chance of reaching the Aiwa Cup
final for which Australia have already qualified.
