Sourav Ganguly's sour right ankle will be tested by team physio John Gloster
during the nets today.
Ganguly reported of soreness in his ankle on the eve of their
warm-up match against the West Indies last week and took part for only
11 overs in the practice game.
Although Captain Rahul Dravid has dismissed the issue
as nothing serious but the team management is not taking chances.
"By the looks of it, it is not serious. He has been uncomfortable
because of this old injury which has flared up again. But we do not see it as
serious," Dravid has said.
Ganguly does not seem overtly concerned by his injury but has
sought Gloster's attention in the last few days.
Dravid too is not bothered and was his phlegmatic self while
describing that he expected all 15 members of his side to stand up and be counted
if so was the need of the hour.
Ganguly, barring something serious, should figure in the starting
line-up in the game against Bangladesh on Saturday.
Even as the four teams in the group -- Bermuda, Bangladesh
and Sri Lanka, besides India -- buckled down for the real competition
with practice sessions in morning and afternoon at two different venues of the
city, the organisers were still busy applying the final coat, as it were, to
the reconstructed Queens Park Oval.
