Badrinath replaces Laxman for New Zealand Tests
Subramanian Badrinath the Tamil Nadu batsman, has been called up to the India squad for the Tests against New Zealand as a replacement for VVS Laxman. Laxman, who was in the 15-man squad for the two-Test series, announced his retirement from international cricket with immediate effect on Saturday.
Badrinath has played two Tests for India, the last being in early 2010 in the home series against South Africa. He has a Test best of 56 in his three innings. His most recent international appearance was during the limited-overs leg of India's tour of the West Indies last summer.
Indian team for this match is : Gambhir, Sewag, Virat, Tendulkar, Pujara, Raina, Dhoni, Aswin, Ohza, Zakeer, Umesh yadav. So still no place for the very much talented Badhrinath. very worst.
