Tendulkar back in India ODI squad

Tendulkar's return represents a further blow to England's series aspirations

India have recalled star batsman Sachin Tendulkar to their one-day side for the remaining four matches against England.

The 35-year-old opted out of the first three one-dayers as he wanted to rest after his side's recent series against Australia, but is now available again.

Murali Vijay, who did not play in the first three matches, makes way as India look to build on their 3-0 lead.

Medium-pace bowler RP Singh was also dropped from the squad, with seamer Irfan Pathan winning a recall.

Tendulkar has not played a one-dayer since the CB Series in Australia in January, missing the tri-nation series in Bangladesh, the Asia Cup in Pakistan and the one-day series in Sri Lanka with injuries.
