No room for Dravid

Published November 10, 2007

MOHALI, Nov 9: Indian cricket selectors retained their 15-player squad on Thursday for the third and fourth one-dayers against Pakistan. The decision meant there would be no immediate return for former skipper Rahul Dravid after he was dropped for the first two matches.

The third game will be played in Kanpur on Sunday with the fourth, a day/night fixture, scheduled for Gwalior on Thursday.

Squad: Mahendra Dhoni (captain), Sachin Tendulkar, Saurav Ganguly, Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Robin Uthappa, Rohit Sharma, Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Murali Kartik, Zaheer Khan, R.P. Singh, Shanthakumaran Sreesanth, Praveen Kumar.—Reuters
