The team management of the Kolkata Knight Riders team today "politely" asked
five of its players, who are yet to feature in the side's 14-member squad in
any match, to leave  in a move to cut costs.
The players who were given the message are Ranadeb Bose, Cheteshwar Pujara,
Sourasish Lahiri, Yashpal Singh and Rohan Banerjee.
"It was clear what the team management wants. Apparently coach John Buchannan
feels that he has found his set combination and had no need for the fringe
players," one of the players told to go, said.
Meanwhile, Sachin Tendulkar has said he is fit and will lead the Mumbai Indians
in their next game, against the Chennai Super Kings on Wednesday. The news will
be a shot in the arm for Mumbai, who played the first half of the IPL without
Tendulkar, forced to sit out with a groin injury.
The rehabilitation process has been successful, Tendulkar announced, saying
there was no "discomfort" and he will open Mumbai's innings with Sanath
Jayasuriya. (ANI)
