Mumbai, June 09: Sachin Tendulkar today said the Indian cricket team would miss the services of South African fitness trainer Adrian le Roux as he had a positive influence on the team which reflected in its overall performance.
Le Roux quit his post to take up a similar job with his national team yesterday.
Tendulkar said here that the team's overall fitness level had improved, that too in short time, and Le Roux should be given the credit for it.
"He had different set of exercises for each player and within a short span of time the players' fitness improved by leaps and bounds which reflected in the overall performance of the team. Obviously we will miss him," he said.
"In fact, he personally saw to it that each and every member of the team goes through the exercises scheduled for him and all of us felt the fitness level increase to a great extent," Tendulkar said.
"I am sure the cricket board will find a replacement soon," the little master said.
On his finger operation in a Balitmore hospital in the USA recently, Tendulkar said he would be totally fit by the time the home series against New Zealand starts in October.
"There is no pain now and the operation on my ring finger was a success. However, I will have to go through the rehabilitation process -- pressing tennis balls and other finger exercises -- for the next three months", he added.
"The time spent with my family after the operation has also helped me relax and the past five weeks was quality time spent with my family," Tendulkar said.
