Melbourne, Jan 27: Australian pacer James Pattinson has expressed hope that he will get completely fit to play in the upcoming One- Day International tri-series.
Pattinson said that he had started running again and should be fit to resume bowling in the One-Day International series against India and Sri Lanka, which starts on February 5."I've been back doing swimming and bike riding and all that sort of stuff over the last three weeks, so I'll have a week of running and then I'll get back into bowling," The Age quoted Pattinson, as saying.
"At the moment we're looking to the start of the one-day series with a bit of luck, and obviously I'll go from there. Hopefully it holds up," he added.
Pattinson was ruled out of the last two Tests against India due a stress-related foot injury similar to that sustained by his team-mate Pat Cummins.
He had sustained his injury during the Sydney Test against India, which Australia won by an innings and 68 runs.
Pattinson admitted that it was difficult for him to sit out of the remainder of the series after being a key player for two matches.
But he took comfort that Australia is performing well, which has only made him hungrier to play for the side.
