ndia's previous home one-dayer took place in front of a sparse crowd at the Eden Gardens, reinforcing fears over the quantity of cricket being played, but with Tuesday's match taking place at the smaller cricketing centre of Cuttack, a jam-packed stadium is expected. Even though the the biggest crowd-pullers like MS Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar are missing, tickets sales at the Barabati Stadium have been brisk, and even the practice sessions drew plenty of spectators.
A full-strength India would be expected to roll over West Indies at home, but they are missing at least four of their headliners. In addition, they have lost the most experienced bowler in their squad, Praveen Kumar - he was ruled out of the first three one-dayers with an injury. That means the most seasoned of the quicks is Vinay Kumar, all of 11 one-dayers old, giving the stand-in captain Virender Sehwag something of a challenge.
India are also missing two of their finish
Team news
The absence of Dhoni means Parthiv Patel will have to be picked, dimming the chances of Ajinkya Rahane getting a game early in the series. Rohit Sharma, returning after a finger injury sidelined him during the England tour, is likely to get the nod ahead of Manoj Tiwary for a place in the middle order. The injury to Praveen could allow India play both their rookie quick bowlers, Umesh Yadav and Varun Aaron.
India (probable) 1 Virender Sehwag (capt), 2 Parthiv Patel (wk), 3 Gautam Gambhir, 4 Virat Kohli, 5 Suresh Raina, 6 Rohit Sharma, 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 R Ashwin, 9 Vinay Kumar, 10 Praveen Kumar , 11 Umesh Yadav
West Indies expect Shivnarine Chanderpaul to play despite a strained calf muscle, though, he did not practise on the eve of the match. Ravi Rampaul will have recovered from his stomach bug, and could replace Kemar Roach. The batting has been a worry, but there isn't much West Indies can do other than shuffle the order and separate the inexperienced top three.
West Indies (probable) 1 Adrian Barath, 2 Lendl Simmons, 3 Marlon Samuels, 4 Darren Bravo, 5 Denesh Ramdin (wk), 6 Kieron Pollard, 7 Andre Russell, 8 Darren Sammy (capt), 9 Ravi Rampaul, 10 Kemar Roach, 11 Sunil Narine

Football Live Streaming
The Premier League must:
Manage, continually improve and be regarded as the world's best league football competition - on and off the field.
Increase interest in our competitions, promote accessibility to live games and ensure that media exposure is used to optimum effect.
Generate increased commercial value, using the resulting revenues to further enhance our competitions and strengthen the long-term future of the Premier League and its clubs.
Use our power and influence responsibly to improve the game in this country and abroad through partnership with the FA, UEFA and other bodies.
Create a quality of competition that provides a platform from which our member clubs can achieve unparalleled success in European or World competitions.
Use our resources to develop playing talent that will provide for international success with the England team at all levels - with the status of World Champions being the realistic goal.
Our relationship with the clubs
The Premier League is owned by 20 Shareholders - the member clubs, whose membership in the league is dependent on the performance of their football team in the Barclays Premier League.
The shareholders meet quarterly. Any shareholder can table a motion to be discussed at the meeting. Each shareholder is entitled to one vote and all rule changes and major commercial contracts require the support of two thirds of the clubs voting at a general meeting.
The Football Association is also a special shareholder. They have the right of veto in certain crucial areas, such as the appointment of Chairman and Chief Executive and promotion and relegation, but have no say on other areas of Premier League work.
The day-to-day business and statutory company responsibilities are handled by the Board of Directors, which comprises of Chairman and Chief Executive, and the full-time members of staff at the Premier League.
Shareholder meetings are held every other month during the season and the AGM is a two-day meeting held during the close season.
At the Summer AGM, relegated clubs will transfer their ordinary share to the promoted clubs.
The Premier League & other football bodies
The Barclays Premier League is widely regarded as the elite club competition in world football.
Like every other league in England, the Premier League comes under the jurisdiction of the Football Association (the FA) and must submit its rules each year for approval and sanction.
The FA's primary objective is to develop the game at all levels, from the England national team down to grass-roots football and youth academies. Along with its British partners in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, the FA comes under the control of the European governing body - the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA).
Formed in 1954 and based in Geneva, UEFA works and acts on behalf of the member associations to promote football and ensure its well-being on the continent. The organisation is responsible for many high-profile competitions, some involving national teams such as the prestigious European Championships. UEFA's premier club competitions are the European Champions League and the UEFA Cup, in which Premier League clubs aspire to compete and succeed on a yearly basis.
The FA and the 50 other associations of UEFA are all affiliated with the world's governing body - the Federation of International Football Associations, or FIFA.
The scope of FIFA's roles and duties has vastly expanded in recent years, and the body is supported in its task of organising, promoting and developing football by the six confederations across the globe. The AFC in Asia, CAF in Africa, CONCACAF in North and Central America and the Caribbean, CONMEBOL in South America, the OFC in Oceania and UEFA comprise 204 member associations in total.
FIFA, formed in 1904 and now one of the world's biggest sports organisations, strives to safeguard the game's good image and it is responsible for the Laws of the Game, which are based upon the rules that were first ratified in 1886.
The rules and regulations are discussed on a yearly basis by the International Football Association Board, which comprises four representatives of FIFA and one each from England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, acknowledging the significance of the British associations in the history of the game.
FIFA can also boast the World Cup as its prized asset the ultimate stage on which a professional footballer can perform and a tournament which captures the imagination of the entire planet.

Europa League Live Stream
Match background
• Rubin have lost only one of their last 14 home games in Europe, 2-0 against FC Twente in last season's UEFA Europa League round of 32. That run includes nine draws as well as four wins.
"Against Zaragoza we were united," said Diego, on loan at Atlético from VfL Wolfsburg. "Victories help us play with confidence and I'm sure our last win will help us tomorrow. I'm especially motivated by playing for Atletico and I have nothing to prove against Italian teams. We won't have many chances to score. Udinese are a very defensive squad and let you control the match, but when they attack they do it very well."
In contrast to Atlético, Udinese are a team in form. The Zebrette are second in Serie A and have lost just once in their last 12 games, yet quite easily could have come unstuck on matchday three. Their prospects of a repeat success have not been helped by the absence of their nine-goal top scorer, Antonio Di Natale, because of muscular problems.
"Atlético played well in Udine and maybe deserved something, but it was a very even match and we were luckier," conceded Udinese coach Francesco Guidolin. "We know we are in a tough group that could be a Champions League one. We must keep rotating players because for us it's very important to continue on the path we set out on at the beginning of the season."
Samir Handanovič, meanwhile, is anticipating a busy night trying to keep Diego et al at bay for a second time. "I'm worried about the whole team, especially their attacking side," said the Udinese goalkeeper. "I'm sure they're going to make me work a lot."

• Rubin have lost only one of their last 14 home games in Europe, 2-0 against FC Twente in last season's UEFA Europa League round of 32. That run includes nine draws as well as four wins.
• Tottenham have lost only one of their last five European games on the road (4-0 at Real Madrid CF in last season's UEFA Champions League quarter-finals), drawing and winning twice in the process.
Team facts
• Three of Rubin's five group stage goals this season have come within 15 minutes of the restart.
• Rubin striker Obafemi Martins knows all about English football from his time as a Newcastle United FC player, where he spent three seasons between 2006 and 2009. He returned to England last year for a loan spell at Birmingham City FC.
• Martins scored in his first four games against Spurs with Newcastle – all four of them wins. However, he failed to register and was on the losing side in his final two meetings with the north London club during the 2008/09 season.
• Martins and Spurs defender Sébastien Bassong were team-mates at Newcastle in 2008/09.
• Spurs boast Russian talent in the form of Pavlyuchenko, who played in the Russian Premier League with SC Rotor Volgograd (2000-02) and Spartak Moskva (2003-08) before moving to London in September 2008.
• Pavlyuchenko played eight league games against Rubin with Spartak, winning three and losing five. He scored from the penalty spot in two of those three victories.
• Ukrainian striker Serhiy Rebrov was a Spurs player between 2000 and 2004 and ended his career with a spell at Rubin.
• Spurs boss Harry Redknapp spent the bulk of his playing career with West Ham United FC and AFC Bournemouth, and managed both clubs prior to spells with Portsmouth FC and Southampton FC. He has been in charge at Tottenham since 2008.
• Kurban Berdyev has been at the Rubin helm since 2001, with the Turkmenistan-born coach leading them to Russian titles in 2008 and 2009. Rubin captain Roman Sharonov once said of his serious-minded boss: "He has football in his mind 24 hours a day. If I thought about football that much I would probably lose my mind."
Nonetheless, Diego and Co are still handily placed in Group I. They are two points clear of Celtic FC and Stade Rennais FC and three behind leaders Udinese − and approach the fixture energised by a first win in eight, Sunday's 3-1 defeat of Real Zaragoza. They are, however, without José Antonio Reyes because of flu."Against Zaragoza we were united," said Diego, on loan at Atlético from VfL Wolfsburg. "Victories help us play with confidence and I'm sure our last win will help us tomorrow. I'm especially motivated by playing for Atletico and I have nothing to prove against Italian teams. We won't have many chances to score. Udinese are a very defensive squad and let you control the match, but when they attack they do it very well."
