Sachin Tendulkar's chances of playing on the tour of the West Indies received a boost after he was scheduled to commence practice with a light bat in the beginning of May.
Tendulkar, who underwent a shoulder operation on March 27, has been advised a 26-day rehabilitation programme after which he is expected to start his cricket training, the Cricket Board said in a statement on Thursday.
The master batsman's rehab has been split into three phases, with the final phase running from April 22 to May 1.
