Srinath hopes to be fit in 3 weeks time

BANGALORE, AUG. 19. Injured speedster Javagal Srinath hopes to be fit in three weeks time. It may be recalled here that Srinath suffered a fracture in his left hand's little finger after being struck by a Dilharo Fernando delivery in the recent Galle Test.

Srinath returned to Bangalore and consulted Dr. Premchand Kincha. And the news is heartening for the Indian team mired in injury- woes.

``Recovery has been good,'' Srinath told The Hindu here on Sunday.

``I can resume normal physical activities immediately. In fact I can bowl, just that now I cannot hold a bat or take catches. Dr. Kincha said that I could resume batting and catching in three week's time. Actually I can face the spinners after two weeks and improve on it,'' he said.
