Kumble to inform BCCI on fitness
3 July 2001

Ace Indian leg spinner Anil Kumble, who missed cricketing action in the last few months because of a shoulder surgery, said today he would inform the BCCI on the current status of his fitness. Speaking to PTI in Bangalore, Kumble said, "my shoulder is coming on nicely" but declined to state whether he will be fit and available for the Sri Lankan tour beginning later this month. "I will inform the BCCI," he said.

The Indian selectors are meeting in Mumbai on July 9 to pick the team for the tour.

A few weeks ago, Kumble had said he was expected to be fit for the tour to South Africa in October and added that it would be a "bonus" if he did so prior to the one to the island nation.

After returning about two months back from South Africa, where the progress of his shoulder surgery by specialist Mark Fergusson was reviewed, Kumble has been bowling in the nets regularly and following the rehabilitation programme.
