Medium-pacer Praveen Kumar - part of the 15-member squad - is learnt to have not yet recovered from his elbow injury and is on his way to the UK for treatment.
World Cup is about begin, a look at the number of players who returned with injuries from South Africa - either midway or after completing the tour - include Virender Sehwag (shoulder), Gautam Gambhir (elbow), and Sreesanth (elbow) while Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra and Munaf Patel have recently returned to full fitness.
Dhoni had said. In hindsight, it seems, the team management's perspective on the player was taken, but the status of his injury was completely ignored.
The Indian team is scheduled to start assembling in Bangalore from February 8 onwards and the departure to Dhaka for the opening game is scheduled for February 14. That should indicate that the team gets less than a week at the academy during which fitness tests will have to be the order of the day.
