Ashish Nehra ruled out of World Cup opener

Dhaka: India have been dealt a blow just a day before their World Cup opener against Bangladesh after experienced pacer Ashish Nehra was ruled out with a sore back.

This means that Dhoni will have to chosse from Zaheer Khan, Munaf Patel and S Sreesanth. If India go in with three pacers on Saturday, then all of them will play, but if they decide to play two pacers, then it will be a toss-up between Sreesanth and Munaf, with Zaheer assured of playing.

India had lost Praveen Kumar with an elbow injury and was replaced by Sreesanth.
