Tendulkar will be missed: Lara

PORT OF SPAIN: The absence of the injured Sachin Tendulkar from the Indian squad will be a big loss for spectators in the Caribbean, West Indies captain Brian Lara said on Friday.

``I think it is unfortunate because we are all entertainers. The public would have loved to see Sachin,'' Lara said as his team trained on Thursday in preparation for its final two matches in its current series against Zimbabwe.

``He's going to be here for the World Cup hopefully, but any opportunity to see him would have been great for the public,'' Lara said.

Lara and Tendulkar, who both broke into international cricket in the early 1990s, have been long considered the contemporary game's leading batsmen.

The 37-year-old Lara added that the presence of a player of Tendulkar's class could help the development of young West Indies players. ``As team members, we can only learn from a player like that,'' Lara said. — AP
