Pacer Zaheer Khan has returned to the Indian team for the next three matches of the One-Day-International series against New Zealand while Suresh Raina and Sreesanth have been rested. After a meeting of the selection committee in Jaipur, two separate teams were announced for the third One Dayer in Baroda on Saturday and fourth and fifth matches of the series in Bangalore and Chennai on 7th and 10th of this month. Gautam Gambhir has been retained as the Captain of the side for the next three matches. Even though the selectors have called back Zaheer, they have decided to prolong the rest period of four senior players – regular skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar and Harbhajan Singh. India lead the five match one day series 2-0 against New Zealand.
