Tendulkar to play in Perth

CANBERRA, JAN. 25. India's chances at the VB tri-series got a shot in the arms with master-blaster Sachin Tendulkar declaring himself match-fit for a return to the squad for the one-dayer against Australia in Perth on February 1.

Tendulkar, who missed India's last four matches of the tri-series due to an ankle injury, however, ruled himself out of the exhibition match against President's XI here on Wednesday.

``I would not be playing this game (against Prime Minister's XI) but I should be fit for Perth,'' he said.

Tendulkar had an extended nets at Adelaide on Saturday while India played against Zimbabwe. Virender Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh were also expected to be match fit for the final leg of the tri-series. — UNI
