Ajit Agarkar has been called in to the side for the third one-day international against Pakistan as a replacement for the injured Laxmipathy Balaji. The selectors inducted Agarkar in the squad after Balaji suffered a rib injury during the second ODI at Visakhapatnam.

"Ajit Agarkar could come to the side. We will decide about it," Wright was quoted as saying to The Press Trust of India. This would be a comeback match for Agarkar, who last played against Bangladesh in December 2004. He has participated in 134 matches and taken 203 wickets at 27.84.

India leads the one-day series 2-0 with the third one-dayer tomorrow at Jamshedpur.
