The Indian selectors named an unchanged squad for the remaining three ODIs against England. The Kris Srikkanth led selection committee felt that it was not necessary to make any changes to the Indian team, which has won the the first two ODIs in a convincing fashion.
The selectors also named the 15-man squad for the one off Twenty20 International which included Robin Uthappa and Yusuf Pathan while Parthiv Patel and Gautam Gambhir were left out.
Gautam Gambhir will skip the T20 match due to his marriage.
Uthappa played his last international match for India more than three years ago against Sri Lanka in Karachi. He has played 38 ODIs and nine T20 internationals for India.
It was his knocks of 56 and 132 for India Green in the recently concluded NKP Salve Challenger Series in Nagpur that has helped him make a comeback in the squad. With Gambhir opting out of the tie, there is a possibility that Uthappa might get a chance to open the batting.
ODI squad: MS Dhoni (capt and w/k), Gautam Gambhir, Parthiv Patel, Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Manoj Tiwary, Ravindra Jadeja, Rahul Sharma, R Ashwin, Praveen Kumar, Sreenath Aravind, R Vinay Kumar, Varun Aaron, Umesh Yadav.
