The BCCI have named a second-string side for the tri-series against Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka, which gets underway in Bulawayo on May 28th. The named squad is:

M Vijay, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Suresh Raina (capt), Virat Kohli (vice-capt), Rohit Sharma, Yusuf Pathan, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Umesh Yadav, Vinay Kumar, Ashok Dinda, Pankaj Singh, Amit Mishra, Pragyan Ojha, Naman Ojha

That should make the series a little more interesting - and gives Zimbabwe a good chance of picking up some ODI rating points. On the other hand, it's a bit of a slap in the face for ZC, as the national side need to be playing full-strength opposition if their readiness for a Test return is to be fairly assessed.
