 Gautam Gambhir will not play in the upcoming Champions League Twenty20 qualifying tournament for Kolkata Knight Riders, as he has not recovered sufficiently from the concussion that he sustained during India's 4th Test against England.
Jacques Kallis will lead the team in Gambhir's absence. An official said that Gambhir may still recover in time for the main tournament, should the team make it through the qualifier, which will be played from September 19 to 21. Gambhir was sent home from the tour of England earlier this month after hitting his head on the ground. Venky Mysore, Kolkata's Chief Executive, said "the decision to play was completely left to Gautam and his doctors and hoped he would make a quick return to the game."
