NEW DELHI, March 1: Kings XI Punjab on Monday dismissed media reports that Ravi Bopara is doubtful for this year’s Indian Premier League and said the England batsman would join the team by Wednesday.

“Ravi Bopara is going to be in India no later than March 3 to play in the IPL as part of the Kings XI Punjab squad. All media reports on his non-participation are speculative,” the franchise said in a statement. “We have spoken to Bopara and he has confirmed his participation and is eagerly waiting to join in the hunt for the 2010 IPL trophy,” the statement said.Earlier, Bopara was quoted in the British media as saying that he has delayed his trip to India indefinitely because of security apprehensions. “Cricket is my living and in many way my life.
