Tendulkar's return delights Dravid

Press Trust Of India

Hyderabad: Indian captain Rahul Dravid has welcomed the return of Sachin Tendulkar to the squad for the upcoming cricket tri-series in Sri Lanka after a four-month injury layoff.

"I'm very happy," Dravid said when asked about his reaction to Tendulkar's return for the tri-series which also involves South Africa.

Tendulkar, who missed the One-Day series against England and the entire West Indies tour following a shoulder surgery in March, was included in the Indian squad last week after being declared fit.

Dravid, who was in Hyderabad on a promtional visit, did not entertain questions on cricket, saying "this is not the right forum."

However, the captain said he was looking forward to the Sri Lankan tri-series.

"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 various products, Dravid who is the brand ambassador of quite a few companies said, "it is good. You get to know people and build relations."
