I will play, so will Yuvi: Ganguly

The board chief said that arrangements were being made to enable Ganguly to fly tomorrow to join the Indian team in Lahore so that he should be well in time to play the third and final Test beginning at Rawalpindi from April 13. Ganguly today said he was completely fit and hoped to play the third Test, but stressed that the second Test centurion Yuvraj Singh would be in the final eleven for the final Test.

“I am completely fit. Just wait and see the results. I hope to play the third Test,” Ganguly told reporters here after a workout in the Eastern Railway Sports complex ground near his home in Behala area.

On the regimen specified by doctors for him to cure his lower back injury, Ganguly said, “I am doing whatever is needed. The doctors have advised me to train and do weight exercises which I am doing.”

Asked about the splendid performance by Yuvraj Singh, who was included in the side in Ganguly’s place and struck a brilliant hundred, he said,” Yuvraj will play the third Test.”

On the likely batting combination for the third Test, Ganguly said, “Let me go and see. Then I can say.”
