VVS Laxman, selected for the India Green side, has pulled out of the Challenger Series tournament owing to a hamstring injury.

It was earlier reported that Mohammad Kaif, who was appointed as the captain of the India Green side, may also miss the series because of a viral fever, with the likelihood of Sachin Tendulkar leading the side in his absence. However, Niranjan Shah, the secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, assured that besides Laxman, all the other players from the three squads were fit.

Rajagopal Satish, the middle order batsman from Tamil Nadu, has been added to the India Blue squad. India Blue play their first match on Monday against India Red.
