The Indian one-day squad for next month’s tri-series in Bangladesh will be picked on May 30, the day of the first semi-final of Indian Premier League in Mumbai.

India, Bangladesh and Pakistan will play a tri-series in Bangladesh from June 7.

“We will be there for the last two league games in addition to the semi-finals and finals,” BCCI selector Bhupinder Singh was quoted as saying to Cricinfo.

“Definitely anybody who will be doing well might find a place,” Singh said, revealing that IPL performances may also be counted for one-day selection.

A 15-member squad is likely to be chosen.

Australian opener Matthew Hayden has been ruled out of the opening Test against West Indies, starting Thursday in Jamaica, as he is yet to recover from a heel injury.

Hayden failed to undergo a fitness test and reported of too much pain in his heel.

Simon Katich will replace Hayden and open with Phil Jaques. Brad Hodge will take the place of Michael Clarke at No. 5.

Wicketkeeper Brad Haddin will make his debut for Australia as he becomes 400th Test player to do so for his country.

England will head into the second Test at Old Trafford on Friday, with an unchanged side that drew the first Test against New Zealand at Lord’s.

In fact, since losing the first Test, on their tour of New Zealand in March, earlier this year England have retained the same set for four Tests now.

England team for second Test:
Andrew Strauss, Alastair Cook, Michael Vaughan (captain), Kevin Pietersen, Ian Bell, Paul Collingwood, Tim Ambrose (wicketkeeper), Stuart Broad, Ryan Sidebottom, Monty Panesar, James Anderson.

With their hopes of qualifying for the Indian Premier League semi-finals dashed, Kolkata Knight Riders’ owner Shah Rukh Khan has written a lengthy SMS to his players, asking them to bow out with a bang.

SRK’s SMS as made available on NDTV Website on Wednesday: "Story time boys... I told you if you keep losing you have to bear with my long, boring msgs.... This is your punishment.... Many times I have made movies which don't do well.... When I'm doing them, of course, I don't know they won't do well.... The story is written by somebody else and I just do my bit as an actor. But I have a way of dealing with flop stories, I try my best to keep my character in the film at a level that it makes a failed story also special for me....

I enjoy the work.... I make jokes about the failure.... And, of course, feel awful about it too.... So, right now, all of us have become part of a failed script... A bad IPL script.... Let's try and keep our characters worthy of still looking back at this story and remembering it as a special story becos we all worked very hard at this....

So, chin up and don't spoil yr character in the next two games.... Let's go out with a bang and not a whimper.... In films, we say u r only as good as yr last film.... So let's make the whole world know how good we r in the last (maybe not) two games...

Also, do ignore all this bit about Dada, me and John having issues.... It's a normal thing in the world.... People like to hit you when u r down.... So, we will be hit.... No stress.... It will make us stronger.... The only way to avoid this is to win.... That's one of the reasons why everybody likes to be a winner....

On the other hand, the beauty of failure is that it brings people together.... So, let's stick this out together.... You know me well enuff to know I am not the kind of owner who has issues with the team 'cos of losses... I am too much of a sport myself to get beaten by defeats.... Like you guys are.... Like Dada and John....

I am still trying to understand the code of conduct expected of me at the matches of the IPL.... ICC... etc.... After I understand it, I will decide whether to accept it or not.... Till such time, I will be with you guys at the hotel... in the meetings etc., but won't come for the matches.... So, please don't ever feel it is anything to do with us as a team....

I am as dedicated to my Knights as I am to my kids.... Only, I won't be coming to the class room till the headmaster's rules are understood by me.... I am a bit anti-establishment kind of a guy, so I apologise for this quirk to u all.... So, head's up.... Have a good match and let's make 200 runs tomorrow.... This 150 seems to not work any more."

Swashbuckling veteran Sri Lankan opening batsman Sanath Jayasuriya’s selection for next month’s Asia Cup has served a blow to Warwickshire, as the 38-year-old will not be available for their Twenty20 Cup campaign.

Warwickshire has disclosed last year that Jayasuriya would be playing in the Twenty20 Cup from June 11.

Warwickshire director of cricket Ashley Giles said he will have to look for other options after Jayasuriya’s unavailability.

"The news comes out of the blue. It's disappointing especially given his recent form in the IPL," Giles was quoted as saying to BBC Sport.
