Tendulkar’s decision gets Ganguly’s approval

“I don’t think he should risk it. It’s his injury and he knows best.” the Indian skipper added.

‘‘We’ll miss him, obviously, but we want him fit for the bigger games,’’ Ganguly said.

‘‘We have a lot of cricket coming up against Sri Lanka, Pakistan, West Indies and England. That’s going to be tough, so I think it’s good that he’staking a break now and he can come back completely healed.’’ Sachin is recovering from elbow surgery and on Wednesday decided not to play in the two-match Test series
