Gambhir to miss Rest of the England Tour

Gautam Gambhir, the India opening batsman, could miss the solitary Twenty20 international against England in Manchester on August 31. Gambhir had a light batting session during India's optional training at Grace Road, but informed team management that he was not able to clearly sight the ball on a few occasions.

"He said that he could not see the ball at times when it came at full speed," Shivlal Yadav, Indian team manager. "He will be taken to an eye specialist in Manchester on Tuesday." With people making use of the long Bank holiday weekend (Saturday through Monday), Yadav said that private eye specialist who was recommended was on leave and the next available date for an appointment was August 30. "Based on what the specialist says we will have to wait for the next step. As of now it seems difficult," Yadav said about Gambhir's participation in the game.
