Sachin, Pathan, Harbhajan to be rested for second ODI
22.59 IST   25th Dec 2004

By IndiaExpress Bureau

India have decided to rest Sachin Tendulkar, Irfan Pathan and Harbhajan Singh for the second one-day international match against Bangladesh at the Bangabandhu National Stadium in Dhaka tomorrow.

The trio will make way for Virender Sehwag and Zaheer Khan, who sat out of the first match in Chittagong on Thursday, while Murali Kartik will get to play his first game on the tour as he comes in for Harbhajan Singh.

Captain Sourav Ganguly said Dinesh Mongia would also find a place in the eleven for the day-night encounter although a final decision was yet to be made.

"We have to decide as to whom to leave out," Ganguly said as India look for a series whitewash in the last two matches to be played back to back under lights in Dhaka.

Ganguly had said before the one-day series that he would give the youngsters in the side a chance as the team prepares for the Pakistan series at home in February-March next year.

The newcomers proved a bit of a success. Sridharan Sriram made a good comeback to pick three for 43 but he might have liked to score a few runs with the bat.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who replaced Dinesh Karthik as wicketkeeper batsman, had an ordinary debut as he was run out after facing just one ball. Joginder Sharma of Haryana did reasonably well to pick 1/28.
