Bangalore, September 29: : Sachin Tendulkar on Monday brushed aside security concerns ahead of the four Test series against Australia, saying Indian players were not bothered but confident that they would never be targeted at home.

"I don't think it (security concerns) bothers us. This (India) is our homeland. In our homeland, I don't think anyone can harm us," Tendulkar told reporters at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, where a camp began for players.

The first Test against Australia starts in Bangalore on October 9.

"We have full confidence that nothing bad will happen. This is our homeland, we should be free to move wherever and whenever we want," the master batsman said, replying to questions whether security concerns bothered players.

"I don't think there will be security concerns as such".

Tendulkar said he cannot comment on what Australians feel (about security concerns) but maintained that he does not definitely think "anyone will look to harm us (Indian players)".

Is Sachin kidding? Does he mean to say that the bomb/terror attacks in India are aimed at foreigners or are the people affected not Indians.....Lets accept that terror has become a way of life in India thanks to the callous attitude of the people who need to take strong deterrent action against terrorists and terrorism....they are silently watching the people getting killed because they are not affected by this....

SECURITY CONCERN AUS TEAM by PCLUTHRA on 2008-09-29 16:40:55.569556+05:30
AUSTRALIAN TEAM MAY KINDLY NEED NOT WORRY FOR SECURITY CONCERNS. IT IS INDIA NOTHING BAD WILL HAPPEN. WISH YOU ALL THE BEST.
Yes How can you are worried, because you have good security by Shankar on 2008-09-29 15:35:18.433932+05:30
I think Tendulkar is not aware of serial bomb blasts in the country. Any one Please advice him about the serial bomb blast across the country. He might be bussy thinking improving his ad-business and not at all bothered about the fans watching at the comman place where security is zero which can kill the fans. Mr.Tendulkar Australian not only feel about their security concerns but they are also bothered about people who watch game. Are you worried about the people who watch the match. How would you will be worried when you are not at all bothred about the happenings apart from your Ad, Business and Cricket world. Being a Cricket Icon also please be bother about the fans who will be under threat by the terrorists. Think for their safety first and rest next. That makes you a good Citizen and also a Good Cricketer.
