Sachin Tendulkar has intentions to play in the upcoming one-day series against arch rivals Pakistan and the subsequent series against England, a television channel claimed today.
‘Headlines TV’ claimed that Tendulkar, who was woefully out of form in the recent four-match Test series against England in which he averaged a poor 18.66, had a discussion with chief selector Sandeep Patil over his future.
The veteran batsman expressed his intentions to play in the ODI series against Pakistan and England and the selectors were willing to go by his plans, the channel said, quoting an unnamed source for the story.
Tendulkar has not played in too many ODI series since India’s World Cup triumph in April last year.
The channel said he wants to play in the ODIs to regain form ahead of the high-profile Test series against Australia in February-March next year.
The channel talked to former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly on Tendulkar’s decision to play in the ODIs. ‘I am not suprised with that. It’s good for him. If he needs to keep playing at the end of the Australia series, he needs to be in form and ODI are the best way for him to get in-form’, the former India skipper said.
