Sachin to miss Vizag ODI

In an unfortunate move, Sachin Tendulkar backed out of the third and final One-day international to be played against Srilanka in Visakhapatnam on Saturday. 

Tendulkar is said to be suffering from a stiff back but no details about the seriousness of the injury have been known. Tendulkar has stoically dismissed it saying, " Nothing serious. It's just stiff." Even during the Ranji Trophy Finals he was reported to have been suffering but showed no signs of it and went ahead to score a century steering Mumbai to a brilliant victory.

The news is not too pleasant in the wake of the World Cup in West Indies. However BCCI secretary has said that the management has rested Tendulkar now to risk any further injury. So Indian fans can look forward to seeing the "little master" in action in West Indies.
