England is now looking to dominate in one day format also

England fast bowler Tim Bresnan has sounded a warning to India saying that they will come hard at them in the upcoming one-day series. England, according to Bresnan, want to inflict another whitewash on the World Champions.

India will go into the five-match ODI series, starting September 3, without five of their World Cup heroes due to injuries.

Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer Khan have all been ruled out of ODI action and Gautam Gambhir is also likely to miss the series due to concussion.



If we come out with confidence against India, we should get the result we're after. We sustained the assault during the Test matches and we'll be looking to do the same in the one-dayers," Bresnan said.

"India are a top side and we have to respect them in all forms, - especially the shorter ones. But we're out to win every game, that's our mentality," Bresnan was quoted

Gambhir likely to miss ODI's in England

With little improvement in his agonising condition over the last 10 days, Indian opener Gautam Gambhir could be packing his bags to return home.

India were whitewashed 4-0 in the Test series,lost their number one Test ranking and are in danger of suffering a similar debilitating fate in the one-day series, starting with the first game in Chester-le-Street on September 3.




Since then, he has visited doctors and got MRI scans done which have shown clean results, yet Gambhir's condition hasn't improved.

Gambhir's case could be similar to the one suffered by South African fast bowler Dale Steyn during the Champions League last year when he too had backpedalled to take a catch offered by Michael Hussey in the semifinal clash between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore and fell on his head.

Steyn's MRI scans too showed little but the paceman took 3-4 weeks to get himself sorted out.

By the looks of it, Gambhir could also suffer a similar fate and could be out of action for 3-4 weeks, putting in doubt even his participation when England pay a return visit to India for a one-day series in early October.
