Sachin Tendulkar and Irfan Pathan have been named in the India squad for the remaining four one-day internationals against England.

Tendulkar had opted out of the first three games, but declared his availability for the remaining matches.

Murali Vijay, who did not play in any of the first three matches, was dropped to make way for Tendulkar, with RP Singh the man to miss out with Pathan preferred.

Tendulkar has not played a one-day game since the CB Series in Australia in January this year.

He missed the tri-nation series in Bangladesh, the Asia Cup in Pakistan and the one-day series in Sri Lanka due to injuries.

India took a 3-0 lead in the seven-match series by winning the third encounter in Kanpur today.

India squad: Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Yusuf Pathan, Irfan Pathan, Ishant Sharma, Harbhajan Singh, Munaf Patel, Zaheer Khan, Virat Kohli, Pragyan Ojha.
