India A Captain Subramaniam Badrinath has been named as the replacement of Sachin Tendulkar in the Rest of India Squad. Sachin Tendulkar has been advised a week’s rest by the Indian Team Physio.

Badrinath played a crucial innings in one of his three ODIs to help India win through his cool temperament. The right hander had also shown sound technique against the likes of Ajantha Mendis and Muttiah Muralitharan.
Sachin Tendulkar might be missing the Irani Trophy match which begins on the 24th at Baroda but he will play the first Test against Australia which begins on October 9th.
