JOHANNESBURG, Tuesday (Reuters) - India captain Saurav Ganguly says his team will be at full strength for the start of the test series against South Africa in November despite current injury concerns in the camp.

The Indian team arrived in South Africa on Monday without Ashish Nehra, Vangipurappu Laxman and Zaheer Khan, who are still recovering from injury.

India will play their first official match against South Africa on October 5 in a one-day triangular series also involving Kenya.

"I think it's good that we came over here so early to give us time to prepare. The fact that we are playing the one-day internationals before the tests is also good because it gives us time to get used to the playing conditions," Ganguly said.

"As far as the injuries go, all our players will be fit for the test series."
