Chittagong, May 15: The Indian team was
staring at the prospects of another injury casualty as medium
pacer S Sreesanth was likely to return home from the tour of
Bangladesh ahead of the Test series.
Sreesanth, who suffered a calf-muscle injury
during the first one-dayer and did not play the second game, was
to be assessed later in the day by physio John Gloster.
Captain Rahul Dravid said the team management
was considering retaining one of the fast bowlers from the
one-day squad should the Kerala seamer show no improvement.
"We will see if he is not pulling up right or
he is not recovering as we hope he would. Then we might consider
keeping back one of the quicks," Dravid said. "We will have a
fair idea, maybe today evening or tomorrow morning. If things
are not good, then we may see him return."
Rookie Bengal batsman Manoj Tiwary earlier
had his dreams of making India debut spoilt as a shoulder injury
during fielding practice abruptly ended his tour. India clinched
the ODI series 2-0 after the third tie was abandoned due to wet
ground conditions because of overnight rains. Dravid
sounded a warning to Bangladesh saying things would be more
difficult for the hosts in the coming Test series. (Agencies) |
