This article was posted over 2 hours after the bbc sports one.

100% confirmation might be needed due to contradicting stories.

[James]

Thanks for letting us know.

I've just disabled Shoaib Akhtar which will allow everyone to make two modifications when you next modify your team.

Since Sehway and Harbajan singh have returned home, will something be done about also beingg able to replace them?

[James]

I see that Afridi has been ruled out, but not Sehwag and Singh. Can you provide confirmation?

[GDR]

Sehwag, Harbhajan return to India
Indian opener Virender Sehwag and off-spinner Harbhajan Singh will return home from Pakistan to recover from injury, it has been announced.
Sehwag was ruled out of the third one-day international against Pakistan on Monday due to a shoulder problem.

Harbhajan has not played in the series at all due to a finger injury.

"Keeping in mind the volume of cricket in the near future, team management have decided the two players should rest," said chief selector Kiran More.

England arrived in India on Monday - and the first Test between those two opponents is on 1 March, in Nagpur.
