Kumble to miss Cuttack ODI

Anil Kumble will miss India's next match in the TVS Cup against New Zealand at Cuttack, due to the death of his father. The Indian team sent condolences to the Kumble family for this bereavement.

Sairaj Bahutule, the legspinner from Mumbai, has been included in the squad as Kumble's replacement. Aashish Nehra looked comfortable during a four-hour team practice session on Tuesday and is likely to play in the match at the Barabati Stadium in Cuttack. Murali Kartik, the left-arm spinner, is also a likely replacement for Kumble in the playing XI.
