Gambhir goes home

LONDON (AP):

India will be without opening batsman Gautam Gambhir for the entire limited-overs leg of the tour of England due to concussion.

The left-hander suffered the injury when he hit his head on the Oval turf last week while trying to take a catch offered by Kevin Pietersen, during the final match of the four-Test series with England.

His absence adds to India's long injury list and further depletes a batting order already without Virender Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh ahead today's one-off Twenty20 match at Old Trafford.
