Indian team is hit by injury blues on the eve of their opening match of the four-match ODI series against Sri Lanka, as Ajit Agarkar, Irfan Pathan and Yuvraj Singh are uncertain for Thursday's match at the Eden Gardens.

Indian captain Rahul Dravid told reporters during the practice session that in view of the injuries, the final 12 would be announced on Thursday morning.

"Agarkar has fallen sick, he has flu and he has not been able to practice after the Ranj Trophy final match," he said adding "Pathan has a sore shoulder and he could also not bowl here during practice session yesterday and today."

Asked about Yuvraj, he said that he was also suffering from a stiff back problem and could not participate in practice session on Wednesday.

To a query about the final composition of the Indian team for the outing, he said, "I will love to announce the 12 for the match, but we could not do it now and probably we will wait till tomorrow morning.
