The ace off-spinner will leave for Australia on Satirday.

New Horizons India Ltd -- the joint venture between US-based New Horizons Worldwide and Shriram Global Technologies -- will invest Rs 200 crore (Rs 2 billion) in the next three years to set up 250 IT Training Centres.

The finger operation will be performed by orthopaedic surgeon Dr Dror Paley at the Sinai Hospital in Baltimore.

He said the same doctor who operated on Tendulkar's finger will perform the surgery.\n\n\n\n

The offspinner is likely to undergo the operation at the same Baltimore hospital as Sachin Tendulkar.

Sachin Tendulkar returned to Mumbai late last night from America where he had his ring finger operated on April 29.

Tendulkar told the doctors he hurt the side of his ring finger while catching the ball during a match in November.

Doctors said the rehabilitation would probably take three months.

The former Pakistan captain replaces Chishty Mujahid.
