As expected, the Indian selectors have names an unchanged 14-member squad for the second Test against Pakistan starting at Kolkata on March 16. VVS Laxman, who was under pressure to perform after an indifferent series against Bangladesh, scored a polished 58 in the first innings and Mohammed Kaif, who could consider himself unlucky for failing to make in to the squad for the first Test, will have to mark his time.

Squad Sourav Ganguly (capt), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Irfan Pathan, Anil Kumble, Lakshmipathy Balaji, Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan Singh, Ashish Nehra, Yuvraj Singh.
