Tendulkar ruled out of ODIs

Published March 22, 2006

MUMBAI, March 21: Indian batting superstar Sachin Tendulkar has been ruled out of the upcoming One-day International series against England due to a shoulder injury, a top official said on Tuesday. India will play seven one-dayers against England, the first starting in Delhi on March 28.

Tendulkar, however, is expected to bat in the second innings on the last day of the ongoing third and final Test against the tourists on Wednesday.

Tendulkar is also likely to miss the one-day series in the West Indies, scheduled to begin in May.

Squad for first three ODIs: Rahul Dravid (capt), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Yuvraj Singh, Mohammad Kaif, Suresh Raina, Mahendra Dhoni, Irfan Pathan, Rudra Pratap Singh, Shanthakumaran Sreesanth, Munaf Patel, Ajit Agarkar, Harbhajan Singh, Venugopal Rao, Ramesh Powar.—AFP
