Expressing happiness over the fitness of Sachin Tendulkar ahead of the tri series in Sri Lanka, Captain Rahul Dravid said that he would be looking forward for a good cricketing season. “I’m very happy” was the one-liner Dravid said when asked about his reaction on Sachin’s fitness and inclusion in the tri-series involving South Africa.
Tendulkar, who missed the entire West Indies tour and the series with England following a shoulder surgery, was declared fit to play the tri-series to be held from August 14 to 29. He comes into the team after a gap of nearly four months.
Dravid, who was here on an endorsement photo opportunity, did not entertain questions on cricket saying that “this is not the right forum.” However, the captain said that he would be looking forward for an interesting tour in South Africa and the conditioning camp would begin today at Bangalore.
“We hope to do well in the island,” he said and refused to take any further questions on cricket. When asked how comfortable he felt while endorsing products, Dravid who is the brand ambassador of quite a few companies said, “It would be good. As you get to know people and build relations.”
Dravid, who posed to a battery of cameras while launching a new range of Samsung products in the city, said that he was comfortable during product promotional events.
