NEWS India-Sri Lanka ODI Series 2007>Tendulkar to sit out of final ODI 15th Feb 2007 23.07 IST By Agencies Sachin Tendulkar today joined India's list of fitness concerns with a stiff back and would be "rested" for the fourth and final one-dayer against Sri Lanka in Visakhapatnam. "Tendulkar has a stiff back and the team management has decided to rest him for the final ODI against Sri Lanka at Visakhapatnam on Saturday," Board secretary Niranjan Shah said.
India already have minor worries over Irfan Pathan and Ajit Agarkar . Pathan has a sore shoulder and missed the previous three matches. Agarkar missed the first two ties with a bout of flu and looked flat in the third game at Goa on Wednesday. Besides, Yuvraj Singh is also easing his way back into the team from a three-month lay-off after rupturing his knee ligament. He had a stiff back, too, and missed the first two one-dayers against Sri Lanka. Shah added that Suresh Raina and Rudra Pratap Singh , who were brought in as cover for Pathan and Yuvraj, have been sent back to join their state team, Uttar Pradesh, for the Ranji Trophy intra-zonal one-dayers.
