New blow for India as Harbhajan Singh and Yuvraj Singh ruled out of tour
INDIA will be clicking more players in and out of their squad for the third Test than fans coming through the Edgbaston turnstiles on Wednesday morning.
With their dressing room looking like a scene from M*A*S*H the tourists have had to send an SOS to Pragyan Ojha and Virat Kohli to replace crocks Harbhajan Singh and Yuvraj Singh.
Yuvraj has a cracked finger thanks to a Tim Bresnan thunderbolt, while Harbhajan is suffering from a stomach strain and cannot bowl, leaving Ojha and leg spinner Amit Mishra to fight it out for a Test place.
Better news for India is the arrival of Virender Sehwag after recovering from shoulder surgery, but he won’t be parachuted into the side until he has undergone fitness and form testing by the management.
India want to pair him with Gautam Gambhir at the top of the order, with the final piece of the jigsaw the return of pace bowler Zaheer Khan from a hamstring injury.
