He misses India's World Cup clash with Zimbabwe but team officials hope he will return to England in time for the match against Kenya on Sunday.
India team manager Brijesh Patel said: "Sachin is in a state of shock, he was very close to his father. His death was unexpected although he had been ill earlier but had recovered."
"Sachin flew home this morning but we hope to get him back to play against Kenya on Sunday or, in the worst case, next Wednesday against Sri Lanka," Patel added.
