CRICKET: DRAVID INCLUDED IN ODI TEAM FOR TRI-SERIES

The selectors on Sunday announced the Indian squad for tri-series and Champions Trophy.

Veteran Rahul Dravid today staged a comeback into India's 15-member one day squad while Virender Sehwag was ruled out of next month's tri-series in Sri Lanka and the Champions Trophy in South Africa.

The 36-year-old Dravid, who last played an ODI back in October 2007, was included in the squad to bolster the batting line-up for the two tournaments, which will also see the return of Sachin Tendulkar.

Dravid's return was more or less certain after the Indian top and middle order's poor display against short-pitch deliveries in both the Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa and during the West Indies tour. more . . .
