All-India Senior Selection Committee met at the Cricket Centre, Mumbai on Tuesday and picked the Indian team for the 3rd Test match against England, which will be played at Kolkata from 5 December 2012 to 9 December 2012.
Ashok Dinda has made it into the final 15. He has replaced Umesh Yadav who suffered a lower back injury in 2nd Test Match.
Despite the failure with the bat, none of the changes were made to the batting line-up. Dhoni has said previously that no big changes will be made in the team, as it is not fair.
Dhoni said, "Not like we don't have replacements. But you don't chop and change players on the basis of one or two Tests. We have to give them a fair run and that is what it is all about; otherwise, you will keep changing players every game".
"So, it is always good to give players a fair amount of games together so they are also comfortable and not thinking of selection," he added.
Indian Squad for 3rd Test Match:
M.S. Dhoni (Captain), Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Yuvraj Singh, Cheteshwar Pujara, R. Ashwin, Ashok Dinda, Pragyan Ojha, Ajinkya Rahane, Harbhajan Singh, Ishant Sharma, Murali Vijay, Zaheer Khan
