Injury worries for India, Victoria

MELBOURNE: India starts its Australian tour with a three-day practice match against Victoria here on Thursday. It will be the visitor’s only practice match before the first Test.

However, both sides have injury concerns and there is also the threat of rain. Victoria’s bowling will not be at full strength with fast bowlers Shane Harwood and Gerard Denton injured and Dirk Nannes being rested. Cameron White, the captain, is ruled out while Brad Hodge, who is to lead the side in White’s absence, is a doubtful starter and awaits the result of a fitness test on Thursday morning.

India will look to play most of its first-choice Test XI but Sachin Tendulkar and Zaheer Khan, who missed Tuesday’s training session, are uncertain for the match. Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who along with Tendulkar and Zaheer missed the final Test against Pakistan, is fit to play the opener. — Agencies
