Yuvraj doubtful for first Vadodara ODI
October 24, 2009
Explosive India batsman Yuvraj Singh, who missed this month's Champions Trophy in South Africa with a broken finger, is a doubt for their opening one-day international against Australia on Sunday. Wicketkeeper/batsman Dhoni hurt his knee during practice on Friday, but is expected to recover in time for the Vadodara one-dayer.
Australia will be without batsmen Michael Clarke and Callum Ferguson for the entire seven-match series because of back and knee problems respectively. Wicketkeeper Brad Haddin, who is undergoing rehabilitation following surgery on a broken finger, and bowler Nathan Bracken, who has a knee injury is also not in the squad.India last won a bilateral series against Australia in 1986 at home when Kapil Dev led the team to a 3-2 triumph over Allan Border’s men.
