India bring Dravid back into one-day squad ahead of series against England

India have recalled veteran batsman Rahul Dravid to their one-day international squad, but will be without the injured Yuvraj Singh and Harbhajan Singh for the NatWest Series against England.
Dravid has not played limited-overs cricket for India since 2009 and was not part of the squad which famously won the World Cup on home turf four months ago.
But the 38-year-old has been a near lone success in the ongoing npower Test series against England, scoring a century in each of two defeats so far.

His recall for the shorter format is nonetheless a surprise - something which cannot be said for the omission of off-spinner Harbhajan and destructive middle-order batsman Yuvraj, who have both been ruled out of the final two Tests after suffering respective stomach and finger injuries at Trent Bridge.
Dravid, India's captain at the 2007 World Cup and scorer of more than 10,000 runs in 339 ODIs so far, was last involved in 50-over cricket for his country at the 2009 Champions Trophy in South Africa.
