Indian batting star Sachin Tendulkar, who pulled out of the three- match Test series in Sri Lanka because of a toe injury, will not attend the Indian Cricket Board's (BCCI) Technical Committee meeting to be held at Baroda on Saturday.

BCCI Executive Secretary, Sharad Diwadkar, told PTI here today that Tendulkar decided not to attend the meeting as he wanted to rest his injured toe. Tendulkar was one of the invitees along with leg spinner Anil Kumble and former Test stars Krishnamachari Srikkanth and Arun Lal.

The meeting, to be chaired by former Indian skipper Sunil Gavaskar, will discuss the Ranji Trophy and Duleep Trophy formats.
