India received a major setback when batting ace Sachin Tendulkar was declared doubtful for the opening match of the triangular one-day tournament in the Netherlands tomorrow.

"Tendulkar has a tennis elbow and is doubtful for tomorrow's game," skipper Sourav Ganguly told the Press Trust of India in Amsterdam. All-rounder Rohan Gavaskar will step in for Tendulkar in case the star opening batsman is declared unfit for the match.

India take on Pakistan in the series opener. They play world champions Australia on Monday. The third and final league match pits the Aussies against Pakistan on Wednesday. The final is scheduled for Saturday, August 28.
