Balaji to miss 3rd ODI
VISAKHAPATNAM, April 5: India fast bowler Lakshmipathy Balaji will miss the third one-day international against Pakistan due to a side strain.
Balaji was, however, retained in a 15-man squad for the third and fourth games of the six-match series, Indian board secretary Karunakaran Nair told reporters on Tuesday.
Balaji, 23, took 14 wickets in the recent three-Test series against Pakistan which ended 1-1.
Seamer Ajit Agarkar was included in the squad for the next two matches in Jamshedpur on April 9 and Ahmedabad on 12.
India lead the series 2-0 after Tuesday’s 58-run victory.
Squad: Saurav Ganguly (captain), Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Yuvraj Singh, Mohammad Kaif, Mahendra Dhoni (wicketkeeper), Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Dinesh Mongia, Murali Kartik, Ashish Nehra, Zaheer Khan, Lakshmipathy Balaji, Ajit Agarkar.—Reuters
