'Tendulkar to promote 2015 World Cup'

Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar will play "some sort of a role" in promoting the 2015 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand early next year, tournament CEO John Harnden has said.


"He (Tendulkar) has been a fantastic supporter of the World Cup. It is too early to say anything about his involvement but I am sure he will play some sort of a role in lead-up to the tournament. We will have to wait and see," Harnden told PTI during a chat here.


Part of the promotion strategy is to get a range of current and former players talking about the Feb 14-March 29 mega event, Harnden said.


The organisers did two events in Mumbai and Delhi last week in the presence of former India players Ravi Shastri and Chetan Chauhan.


"As we get closer to the tour tournament, more announcements will be made. The strategy is to use a lot of World Cup heroes. There are a whole range of players who have already helped us and will be helping us in the future as well," said Harnden.


"A more specific campaign is planned from November," he added.


Hugely popular in Australia and against whom he had played some of his greatest knocks, Tendulkar pulled the curtains down on a glorious international career by turning out for his landmark 200th Test against the West Indies last November.

But we've seen that he's struggled lately - but more when he's been tired," Goal.com quoted Solskjaer as saying. "He wasn't on long enough to be tired so I think it might have been something that just happened there and then. He's been absolutely top this season so we'll do everything we can to get him fit for Sunday. If he's not then we'll play without him," he added. Manchester United secured a 1-0 win against Wolves with the help of Juan Mata's strike. Manchester United will take on Liverpool in Premier L...

"It might be 45 minutes in the first game, it might be half an hour, it might be 90.
