Gambhir likely to miss ODI series, Shikhar Dhawan likely to be included Gambhir could be left out of India's ODI squad By: Debasish Datta Date: 2010-10-11 Place: Bangalore Gautam Gambhir is likely to lose his spot in the one-day team following the lack of communication between the selectors and the team physio. MiD DAY has learnt that the selectors have not been updated on Gambhir's fitness. The left-handed opener is not taking part in the ongoing Bangalore Test due to a knee injury. The selection committee will meet tomorrow to pick a 15-man squad for the three-match ODI series against Australia. The selectors are currently watching the NKP Salve Challenger Trophy to try and spot some talent. The medical bulletin of the players would be made available only at the conclusion of the Bangalore Test. The team management believes Gambhir is not in a position to take part in the one-dayers. Zaheer Khan is likely to be given a well-deserved rest. There is a big question mark over the fitness of Ishant Sharma, while S Sreesanth is likely to miss the boat for the ODIs. Ashish Nehra, Munaf Patel, Praveen Kumar and Vinay Kumar will form the pace attack. Big surprise Mumbai Indians and Delhi opener, Shikhar Dhawan, is most likely to get his first-ever international call up. The left-hander has been in sparkling form over the last 12 months both for India 'A' as well as his IPL franchise. Meanwhile, Saurabh Tiwary, who enjoyed an impressive IPL season earlier this year, is set to retain his place. THE LIKELY SQUAD: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain and wicketkeeper), Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh, Pragyan Ojha, Ashish Nehra, Praveen Kumar, Ravindra Jadeja, Munaf Patel, Vinay Kumar, Saurabh Tiwary, Shikhar Dhawan http://www.mid-day.com/sports/2010/oct/111010-Gautam-Gambhir-India-Australia-ODI-series.htm

Another report from Telegraph Sachin, Harbhajan set for ODI return Bangalore: Sachin Tendulkar and Harbhajan Singh are set to feature in the three-match ODI series against Australia, which begins in Kochi, on Sunday. While Sachin hasn’t played an ODI after his record-creating 200 not out in Gwalior, eight months ago, Harbhajan missed the last tournament — tri-series in Sri Lanka — owing to an injury. According to The Telegraph's sources, the team management may have the “final say” on Zaheer Khan. Even he wasn’t seen in action in Sri Lanka. “If the captain (Mahendra Singh Dhoni) and coach Gary Kirsten want Zaheer to be fresh for the upcoming Test series against New Zealand, then his ODI return is going to be delayed,” one of the sources pointed out. Gautam Gambhir and Ishant Sharma, it appears, are still not fit. Both have a knee problem and were left out of the squad for the ongoing Test here. Yusuf Pathan is in the frame, as is Ashok Dinda. Pathan could take Ravindra Jadeja’s place, while it may turn out to be Dinda or Ranganath Vinay Kumar. The selection committee meeting will be held at the Chinnaswamy, on Tuesday evening. LIKELY SQUAD Openers: Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Murali Vijay Middle order: Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma/Saurabh Tiwary, Virat Kohli All-rounder: Yusuf Pathan/Ravindra Jadeja Wicket-keeper: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt.) Spinners: Harbhajan Singh, Pragyan Ojha New-ball bowlers: Ashish Nehra, Zaheer Khan/Munaf Patel, Praveen Kumar, Ashok Dinda/Ranganath Vinay Kumar http://www.telegraphindia.com/1101012/jsp/sports/story_13047940.jsp

Rahane would've been a better choice, but nvm

[Cricketics]

Best news. About time the deserving guy get a chance. Had he played in recent yeras those knocks which he did in u19 wc 2004, he would have been sitting in Indian odi team easily. Happy for Shikhar Dhawan.

[saneindian]

Rahane and Ashwin also deserve a spot in the team. In fact Ashwin should be playing ahead of Jadeja/Yusuf.

[flamy]

good stuff

[Sir john]

No one can axe jaadu .:wall:

[Sir john]

Jaadu can build innings,ashwin can't. Jaadu a left arm which give variation to attack.

[ZodiaC]

Jaadu can build innings,ashwin can't. Jaadu a left arm which give variation to attack.

We need not build partnerships at number 7, we need good sloggers there. JAddu cant slog. SLA variation is good on paper, but we can't include him for that reason only.

[Chandan]

Just hope MSD gets a rest. He really needs one. If he won't play an ODI series, nothing will change and he'll get a well deserved rest.

[girishk14]

ashwin is a billion times better than jadeja, and also more consistent than bhajj with bat and ball.......real waste of talent.

[rkt.india]

I wish they pick Umesh Yadav as well...He was really pacy yesterday on a slow track....he is the future and was swinging the bowl away too in hot conditions of Indore.....Selectors need to nurture him as well as Jaydev Unadkat

[Shane]

Where is Yuvraj dood? Is he injured, he would gobble up (literally) the Aussies on these wickets. My XI Viru Jai Kohli / Vijayi Yuvraj MSD Raina Pathan Ashwin PK Nehra :| Ojha

[King Tendulkar]

Dhoni should rest for these odis

[rkt.india]

No Gambhir. it should be Viru Dhawan Kohli Raina Yuvraj S. TIwary Dhoni Ashwin PK Umesh Yadav Nehra Dadaji Ojha Rahaane Kohli and Rahaane can bat at 3 if one of them do not click

[ZodiaC]

Sehwag Dhawan/Vijay Kohli MSD Tiwary/Flathappa Raina Irfan Ashwin Praveen Nehra Ojha
