Yuvraj to miss, Harbhajan uncertain for ODI series
Kolkata, Feb 15: With injured middle-order batsman Yuvraj Singh ruled out and offie Harbhajan Singh reportedly seeking a break for a family commitment, a few youngsters could make the cut as the national selectors choose a 15-member squad Tuesday for the three-match one-day series against South Africa beginning Feb 21.
Yuvraj, who missed the Test series against South Africa, is yet to recover from the ligament tear in his wrist which he sustained during the Bangladesh tour, sources in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said.
Either Abhishek Nair or Yusuf Pathan is likely to replace Yuvraj.
Opener Gautam Gambhir also injured his left forearm while batting on day two of the ongoing second Test between the two sides.
However, though there was swelling as also bruises, an x-ray did not show any bone damage.
