Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag are fit to play in India’s next VB Series one-day international, against Australia on February 1 at Perth. Tendulkar has missed three games due to an ankle injury, while Sehwag has had a shoulder strain. Andrew Leipus, the team’s physiotherpaist, said that both players have now recovered from their injuries.Anil Kumble will not be back in action quite so soon, though. Kumble has a sore shoulder, and is expected to be rested for the next two matches, at Perth, so that he is fit to play in the best-of-three finals against Australia.
