India will be without the services of Gautam Gambhir for the third Test against Sri Lanka at Mumbai as the left-handed opener will be attending his sister's wedding on December 3.
The Senior Selection Committee on Friday retained the same side for the third Test to be played from December 2-6 but said because of Gambhir's unavailability, the strength of the squad will be 14.
"The All-India Senior Selection Committee has retained the same side for the third Test of the ongoing series against Sri Lanka, to be played at Mumbai from 2 December 2009 to 6 December 2009," BCCI secretary N Srinivasan said in a statement on Friday.
"Gautam Gambhir will not be available for the Test, on account of his sister's wedding on 3 December. The strength of the squad for the Mumbai Test will thus be 14," he added.
