Harbhajan fit to play
in second Test

Off-spinner Harbhajan Singh has recovered completely from the shoulder injury he sustained during the Guyana Board President's XI match and will, in all probability, be included in the team for the second cricket Test against the West Indies, staring on Friday.

"Harbhajan Singh is fit and ready for selection," team manager Gautam Dasgutpa informed in Port of Spain on Wednesday.

The bowler had experienced a slight pain in his bowling shoulder while fielding in the tour-opening three-day game. However, an MRI scan showed nothing serious but he was ruled out of the first Test nonetheless, his place being taken by fellow off-spinner Sarandeep Singh, who was flown in from India for the match.

Sarandeep did a decent job in the first Test but captain Sourav Ganguly has already expressed his desire to bring back Harbhajan into the team.

Meanwhile, vice-captain Rahul Dravid has shown no after-effects of the blow he took on his jaw from a rising delivery by Mervyn Dillon in the Bourda Test.

Dasgupta said Dravid is feeling perfectly fine though he has an entirely different kind of problem. "He has a sore throat, a minor irritation in his throat," Dasgupta added.
