We just need to fire on the field, says Sourav
- Bond to arrive on Monday; Akram falls ill
LOKENDRA PRATAP SAHI
Mumbai: It was a shade after 11 pm on Wednesday that the Sourav Ganguly-captained Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) returned to the Trident Bandra-Kurla after over three hours of practice in Navi Mumbai.
The top-of-the-line Dr D.Y.Patil Sports Stadium there, incidentally, is a good 26 kms away from the team hotel. So, add a couple of hours of travelling.
Mobbed, as usual, Sourav couldn’t get away from the autograph and photograph-seekers. After obliging a few, in the lobby, he said: “Time to let me go... We have a pool session in a few minutes...”
After two very disappointing seasons, trainer Adrian le Roux, who once worked with Team India, just doesn’t want to leave anything to chance.
Impressed, one from the janata responded: “KKR is all fired up, that’s great...” Not one at a loss for words, Sourav replied with a smile: “Yeah, all we now need to do is to fire on the field!”
Opportunity No.1 will come on Friday night, in the IPL III’s opening match, against the Deccan Chargers, in Navi Mumbai.
It’s not official, but according to The Telegraph’s sources, five Test-playing nations are expected to find representation in the KKR XI.
Besides the seven Indians, the XI is set to include Brad Hodge (Australia), Owais Shah (England), Charl Langeveldt (South Africa) and Angelo Mathews (Sri Lanka).
Langeveldt came on Wednesday evening, but didn’t train, getting time to recover from any effects of jet lag.
The biggest guns from overseas are to arrive from Monday, after the second match, and the first at home, against the Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Shane Bond, one learns, will be the first to report. He’ll be followed by Chris Gayle (March 17), David Hussey (March 25) and Brendon McCullum (April 1).
Mentor-consultant Wasim Akram, meanwhile, has fallen ill and didn’t attend the practice session. “He’s better,” team director Joy Bhattacharjya informed late on Wednesday.
Footnote: Bangladesh all-rounder Mashrafe Mortaza is still some way off from being fit for Test cricket. “For now, I’m only focusing on ODIs and T20,” he pointed out, thankful that he’s back on the field after knee surgery.

Bangladesh's Raqibul Hasan retires
DHAKA: In a shock move, Bangladesh's young middle order batsman Raqibul Hasan has retired from all forms of cricket ahead of the country's first Test match against England, an official said on Wednesday.
Hasan, 22, hit an unbeaten century and a half century in the three-day practice match against England and was a certainty against the visitors in the first Test match beginning in Chittagong on Friday.
"He wrote a letter to us this morning, withdrawing himself from the Test series against England. He also announced his retirement from all forms of cricket," Bangladesh Cricket Board director Jalal Yunus said.
"It has stunned us. He is a brilliant cricketer and played two superb knocks against England just days back. Coach Jamie Siddons and Raqibul's parents tried to change his mind. But he is adamant," he said.
Hasan made Test and One-day debuts in 2008 and has played seven Test matches and 41 One-Day Internationals. He is the only player in the Bangladeshi team to have hit a triple century in first class cricket.

Lalit Modi targeted by Dawood Ibrahim
Yesterday at 01:06:08 PM by ஓஓஓஓஓ
Missed this in the news when it transpired. Gathered from wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lalit_Modi
Towards the end of March 2009 the Mumbai police were interrogating underworld don Chota Shakeel's arrested hit man Rashid Malabari and during the interrogation he had revealed that there were planning to assassinate cricket chief Lalit Modi, his wife Minal and son Ruchir. This was cross referenced by an government intelligence agency picked up a phone conversation between Chota Shakeel and his boss Dawood Ibrahim instructing him to hire 4 assassins to assassinate Modi and his family either in South Africa or in India. Also electronic surveillance records intercepted by Intelligence Bureau indicate that Chhota Shakeel has asked his shooters to target Modi in Mumbai or South Africa. "Usko khatam kar do India ya South Africa mein," is the diktat. The reason for this threat is that Modi banned Pakistani cricket players to take place in IPL 2. Lalit Modi has been provided with armed police men guarding his house whether or not he is at home, he has also been provided a non-category police security cover while he is out of the gates of his house which include multiple 24 hour armed cops and a government escort car following. But his wife Minal and Son Ruchir will only have 1 armed cop with them while they are out of their house. Modi also has his own personal security guarding his house 24 hours a day and has personal bodyguards who are employed by Modi himself guarding him, his wife and his son at all times. It is also known to be said that the IPL's security agency's have beefed up security around Modi at all times. Bob Nicholls co-owner of one of the IPL's security agency Nicholls and Styne has conformed that private security around Modi has been increased and tightened. He has also conformed that the Indian Government is providing high police protection around Modi even if he is out of India. It is also known that Lalit Modi's children, Ruchir and Aliya travel around with a convoy of 2-4 cars at a time, this has been noticed at the American School of Bombay in Bandra Kurla Complex. While Ruchir enters or exits his school a team of 5 bodyguards which of 2 are armed police officials, and 3 are private bodyguards - 2 of them are men in black suits and the other 1 is in different clothing follow him in. It is known that Lalit Modi's Bungalow in Juhu has extremely high security. According to sources he has around 10-15 security personal roaming around his house 24 hours a day. Outside Modi's front gate there are around 2-3 private security personal scanning the area and questioning every by passer 24 hours a day. On 19th Dec 2009 Modi's house in Mumbai caught fire and burnt down officially reported to be due to a short circuit. Police are still investigating to see if any foul play caused this major fire.
