Sachin Tendulkar to miss Tri-Series and Asia Cup

The BCCI has formally announced that Sachin Tendulkar will be rested for the tri-series in Bangladesh and the forthcoming Asia Cup. The decision was taken not to risk Sachin's groin injury, which might aggravate if he continues to play in a hectic schedule. According to sources, pace bowler Zaheer Khan is also likely to miss the tri-series because he needs rest to heal from injuries.
