"I will be a turning out against a big team for the first time in the tournament. I am keen to do well," Laxman, who has been declared fit for the match, said after the nets at the Premadasa Stadium today. Laxman has had a horrid Asia Cup having played in just two games against UAE and Bangladesh and missing the matches against Pakistan and Sri Lanka due to injury. "In fact I have hardly put bat to ball. I played 10 balls against UAE and could face only three against Bangladesh before victory was achieved." Laxman has been a sideshow in this series as twice he has been hit in the same area of the left knee which has caused his poor turn-out for the team. "Its been bad luck for me. But hopefully this is a thing of the past," he said. Specially prepared pads for Laxman has been brought from India during this tournament. The pads are intended to protect his left knee which has had a chronic history of injury. in-depth coverage > Asia Cup 2004 > |
