Sachin Tendulkar out of ODI series against Sri Lanka starting from 18 August

Colombo: Sachin Tendulkar, who injured his left elbow during the third and final Test Match on Saturday by trying a catch, on Monday was ruled out of the five-match ODI series against Sri Lanka and replaced by Tamil Nadu Ranji Player batsman S Badrinath.

"Tendulkar has been ruled out of field for two to three weeks. He would be replaced by Badrianth," according to BCCI.

Tendulkar had "jarred his elbow while attempting a catch" during Sri Lanka's first innings on Saturday, forcing him to leave the field and did not return for rest of the innings as an MRI scan had revealed a swelling.

He batted in India's second innings but was out for 14. The ODI series will be played from August 18 to 29. Tendulkar had been named in the ODI squad for Sri Lanka as well as the Champions Trophy in Pakistan to be played in September.
