India name squad for Sri Lanka Tri-series

India have named their squad for the One-Day International tri-series in Sri Lanka, handing a recall to Yuvraj Singh while Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir and Harbhajan Singh are rested.

Yuvraj missed the victorious Asia Cup campaign while fellow left-hander Gambhir missed the second Test against Sri Lanka with a knee injury.

Abhimanyu Mithun, who has made his Test debut on the same tour, is in the squad, which is light on experienced fast bowlers as Zaheer Khan and Shanthakumaran Sreesanth remain on the sidelines.

Ashish Nehra and Ishant Sharma are expected to lead the pace attack while left-armer Pragyan Ojha is the senior spinner in the absence of Harbhajan.

Youngsters Saurabh Tiwary and Ravi Ashwin boost the squad which is largely the same as the one which beat Sri Lanka to win the Asia Cup in Dambulla in June.

New Zealand are the other team in the tournament, which begins on 10th August. The three teams will play one another twice before the final on 28th August.

India ODI squad: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Virender Sehwag (vice-captain). Ravi Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Dinesh Karthik, Virat Kohli, Praveen Kumar, Abhimanyu Mithun, Ashish Nehra, Pragyan Ojha, Suresh Raina, Ishant Sharma, Rohit Sharma, Saurabh Tiwary, Yuvraj Singh
