India team for 3rd and 4th test against Australia
 Out-of-form Virender Sehwag has been dropped from India Test squad for 
the final two Tests against Australia. The selectors on Thursday 
retained the rest of the 14 players while there was no replacement named
 for Sehwag.
 India lead the four-match series 2-0. The third Test 
starts from March 14 in Mohali. Fourth and final Test is in Delhi from 
March 22.
 Sehwag has been struggling not only in this series but in 
the last 9 innings. Since his century against England in Ahmedabad late 
last year, he has not scored a fifty. In the current series, he has just
 27 runs (2, 19, 6) in three innings.
 The 34-year-old Delhi batsman 
was dropped from India One Day International team earlier this year for 
the home series against England.
 
Harbhajan Singh has been retained despite being not impressive in the 
first two Tests and the wait continues for Gautam Gambhir for a 
comeback.
 In Sehwag's absence, India will have a new opener in 
Mohali. Either Shikhar Dhawan or Ajinkya Rahane will partner Murali 
Vijay. Both Dhawan and Rahane are yet to play a Test.
 India squad: 
MS Dhoni (captain), Shikhar Dhawan, Murali Vijay, Cheteshwar Pujara, 
Sachin Tendulkar, Ravindra Jadeja, Virat Kohli, Ishant Sharma, 
Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Pragyan Ojha, Ajinkya Rahane, Harbhajan Singh, R 
Ashwin, Ashok Dinda.
