The Indian cricket team is keen to avail the services of utility player Railways’ Sanjay Bangar before the third Test against Australia begins in Melbourne on December 26.

Though no such request has yet been made to the cricket board, the team management is likely to do so once the Adelaide Test is over. According to team sources, the Indians suddenly sense a chance to create history after their brilliant performance so far on the tour and want to utilise their bowling resources better.

India, who flew in Railways’ left-arm spinner Murali Kartik before this Test,have been a bit handicapped in bowling with Harbhajan Singh as good as out of the tour and Zaheer Khan missing the second Test because of a hamstring injury.

It has limited India’s bowling resources and with back-to-back Tests in Melbourne and Sydney, the team wants to put its best foot forward in a bid to do the near impossible. (PTI)
