brought into the squad for the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/A-Mishra-c871, the youngster could not make the playing XI.
Trailing 0-2 in the four-match series, the tourists are now scheduled to meet the English side in the Trent Bridge Test, starting from August 10, 2011. Travelling all the way from India and joining a side

soon as I land in England, and be mentally prepared for whatever job my captain and the team wants me to do," said Ojha.
