India will play their first home ODI series after winning the World Cup in April when he faces England next month in five ODIs in Hyderabad. However, instead of the series that the expected return of the current world champions, the team is probably very different from the one that won the title as the injury problems dogged the team during their tour of England show no signs of slowing . The team will be announced Thursday, but understands that ESPNcricinfo Sachin Tendulkar, Rohit Sharma and Yuvraj Singh is likely to be fit in time, Munaf Patel and while Ishanti Sharma also lost.
Tendulkar will continue to fight for his toe injury and his absence to ask how ODI cricket sounds, especially when you consider that outside of the World Cup, has only played two ODIs in the year.
Rohit has a broken finger that has ruled the Champions League Twenty20 must also keep him out against England, Yuvraj ligament damage while the finger is not healing fast enough. Ishant still the same ankle, and ginger, it is likely that the danger of the series. Ishant said that the need for ankle surgery, but leaves before the tour to Australia. Keep out of the series could be a precaution to keep it ready by the end of the year. Munafo hurt the ankle during the ODIs against England and has remained in the Champions League.
On the positive side, Gautam Gambhir has recovered from his concussion and played for Kolkata Knight Riders in the Champions League. With so many players out, Ajinkya Rahan, who impressed in England, must have its place. It could also open the door to Yusuf Pathan to return to the team after it was selected for the tour of England.
As Zaheer Khan is now gone, the big question is the composition of India's pace attack. Are the selectors again Ashish Nehra, who declared in the form (card no one has talked to him anyway) and has been bowling at full capacity in the networks in the last six weeks? Or fat for a brand new online for around Praveen Kumar, Umesh Yadav size, Aaron Varun, Jaydev Unadkat, and Vinay Kumar Abhimanyu Mithun in the calculation? The choice of breeders will show how to replenish the resources of bowling in India and if you think about the future.
The identity of the spinners is also an open question, but to a lesser degree. Harbhajan Singh is back in shape and is conventional, safe choice, but the pair of R and Pragyan Ojha Ashwin could be worth the gamble. Ashwin played in the 0-3 series loss to England and the selectors can see how it is useful in conditions.
India won the World Cup in April in the grand style, but has struggled somewhat since. They won the first three ODIs for West Indies tour, but lost the two dead rubbers, before going down 0-3 to England, but they managed a tie in the fourth game of the series.
