Sachin injures hamstring, to return home immediately

Johannesburg, Jan 16 (PTI) Sachin Tendulkar handed a injury concern to India just a day before the World Cup team selection after he was ruled out of the remainder of the ODI series against South Africa because of a hamstring problem.
Tendulkar injured his right hamstring during his 24-run innings in the second ODI against the Proteas at the Wanderers yesterday, which India won by a slender one run margin to level the series 1-1.
Tendulkar did not field during the South African innings and in the post-match press conference India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni confirmed that the champion batsman will not take part in the remaining three ODIs of the five-match series.
"Sachin (Tendulkar) has sustained an injury and he will not be playing the next 3 matches. He will be going back," Dhoni said.
