India name 15-man squad

India have named a 15-man squad for the first two games of their one-day international series against England, which starts on October 14.



Seven players, including star names Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Zaheer Khan and Yuvraj Singh are missing with injuries sustained on the recent tour of England.



Gautam Gambhir returned after missing the One Day Internationals in England with concussion.



However, there is no place for fit-again spinner Harbhajan Singh.



Harbhajan was one of several players to return early from England with injury. However, he had been in disappointing form in the first two Tests, only taking one wicket in each game before succumbing to a stomach strain.



Leg-spinner Amit Mishra has also been dropped, with slow left-armer Ravindra Jadeja and off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin the senior front-line spinners in the squad, while veteran batsman Rahul Dravid has retired from One Day Internationals.



England will arrive in India on October 4 and will play five One Day Internationals and a 20/20 international.
