Tendulkar has been out of form recently and struggling to score his 100th international century. In the ongoing tri-series in Australia, which also features Sri Lanka, he has made only 143 runs in seven innings.

Hard-hitting opener Virender Sehwag and bowler Zaheer Khan do not figure in the 15-member squad because of injuries. The Indian side will be led in Dhaka by Mahendra Singh Dhoni as captain and Virat Kohli as vice-captain.

The squad will also include Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Manoj Tiwary, Yusuf Pathan, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Rahul Sharma, Praveen Kumar, Vinay Kumar, Irfan Pathan and Ashok Dinda.
