MOHALI, March 11: India have retained their 14-member squad for the second Test against Pakistan starting at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens on March 16.
The national selectors again ignored middle-order batsman Mohammad Kaif, keeping faith with Vangipurappu Laxman and left-hander Yuvraj Singh.
Laxman, who was under pressure going into the match after scoring only two half-centuries in his last 15 innings, struck 58 after recovering from a shaky start.
