MOHALI: India missed the services of a finisher in Delhi and any chance of Suresh Raina filling that void got crossed out here on Saturday when the team management confirmed that the left-hander was still recovering from viral fever.
"Suresh Raina is still not available. He is not travelling with the team. It's a 14-member squad for now," team's media manager confirmed reporters.
Raina, who was brought back to the team for the first three ODIs of the five-match series, missed out in Dharamshala and Delhi too.

Though he batted for around 45 minutes in the nets before the second ODI, he was far from match fitness to last 100 overs and thus was ruled out.
Before being recalled for this series, Raina last played in the ODIs against South Africa at home in October 2015. He was dropped from the subsequent tours of Australia and Zimbabwe. With the selectors set to pick the squad for last two ODIs, a replacement for Raina may be announced if he doesn't fully recover.
