India's twin concerns

Hopes out of India series, 4th ODI today

AFP, Mohall
India’s key batsmen Virender Sehwag and, Gautam Gambhir are injury doubts for the fourth one-day international against Australia here on Monday.
Sehwag was struck on his left foot by a Peter Siddle yorker while Gambhir was hit below the ear by a pull shot from Australian captain Ricky' Ponting during the third one-dayer in New Delhi on Saturday.
Wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik has been called up to the squad as cover, a statement by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said on Sunday.
"Dinesh Karthik will be joining the Indian team in Mohali," BCCI secretary N Srinivasan said in a statement.
"A final decision on the availability of Sehwag and Gambhir for the fourth match will be taken on the morning of the game."
India lead the seven-match series 2-1 after
victories at New Delhi and Nagpur. Australia won the opening match at Vadodara by four runs.
Karthik, 24, was overlooked for the current series after featuring in the Champions Ttophy in South Africa in September-October.
He has scored 502 runs in 33 one-day internationals at 23.90 and is also likely to be a backup for captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni behind the stumps.
Gambhir struck fine half-centuries in the first two matches but was out for six in the third match, which India won by six wickets on Saturday. Sehwag's top score in the series has been the 41 he made in Nagpur.
Meanwhile, Australia's injury woes continued unabated Sunday with all-rounder James Hopes being ruled out of the remainder of the series.
Hopes, 31, will return to Australia to continue his recovery from a right hamstring injury suffered during the match at Vadodara. Cricket Australia said in a statement.
"Hopes has done everything he can with the medical staff to try and make himself available for the remaining games of the tour of India.” physiotherapist Kevin Sims said in the statement.
"However due to the compressed nature of this tour and his speed of recovery so far we feel now we have insufficient time to have Hopes fully fit to take part in the remaining games of this series.
"Therefore a decision has been made that Hopes will return to Australia where he will continue his rehabilitation from this hamstring injury."
Hopes, who has 1,000 runs and 54 wickets from 67 GDIs, is the third Australian player to fiy back home during this sevenmatch series.
Pace spearhead Brett Lee (elbow) and wicketkeeperbatsman Tim I’aine (finger) are already back in Australia tending to their injuries.
Victorian fast bowler Clinton McKay has been named as a replacement for Lee while New South Wales allrounder Moises Henriques will now remain with the squad for the rest of the matches.
