Sachin Tendulkar will figure in an upcoming tri-series in Australia after he was named on Sunday in a limited overs squad for the first time since last year's World Cup. The tournament, also featuring Sri Lanka, is scheduled to run from February 5 to Mar. 8.
Tendulkar has cut down on limited overs games but made himself available as India hopes to bounce back after crashing to defeats in the first three games of an ongoing test series in Australia to take its string of losses in away tests to seven.
Tendulkar, who is on the brink of scoring 100 international centuries with 51 in tests and 48 in one-dayers, is part of a 17-member squad that will also be used to name the teams for two Twenty20 games on February 1 and 3.
Tendulkar does not play Twenty20 games for India. Tendulkar, who holds many major batting records including most runs in tests (15,432) and one-dayers (18,111), scored his last two centuries during the World Cup but has failed to notch another in the subsequent nine months.
