 Bangalore,
Nov 11: Skipper Sourav Ganguly today said left-arm fast bowler
Ashish Nehra, who has not played a single match after the World Cup
final, will have to prove himself to make the Australian tour.
"There is a possibility of Nehra playing tomorrow because he
has not played much. We have a tour ahead and we cannot take
somebody who has comeback from injury for a big series like
Australia without playing cricket," he told reporters here on
the eve of the triangular series day-night encounter against
Australia.
 Taking over the
reins after a gap of almost one month due to injury, Ganguly said
the team morale was not down after two consecutive defeats.
"The morale looks okay. We know what we have to do to qualify
for the final. We need to lift our game," he said.
"We
need to play well in the rest of the tournament and get back into
the winning habit. So every game is crucial." Ganguly, who last
played in the Mohali Test against New Zealand from October 16 to 20
before undergoing two minor surgeries to treat an abcess in his left
thigh, said he was fully fit now.
"There is no
pain. I'm fit for the rest of the series," he said. (Agencies)
