Sachin has already opted out of the squad for the two T20 internationals, Even if he says he had enough of Twenty20 cricket. Tendulkar will still end up playing the hit and giggle version of International Masters in New Zealand. He will only strengthen the NZCPA Masters.
This game is being promoted as the curtain raiser to the second T20 international between India and New Zealand.
It seems Dinesh Karthik will be playing for the ACA Masters team.

Secrets of Arctic and Antarctic Ice Oceans
The scientists had found marine life that in Both Arctic And Antarctic poles apparently share in common things include marathoners such as grey whales and birds, but also worms, crustaceans, and angelic snail-like pteropods, the latter discoveries opening a host of future research questions about where they originated and how they wound up at both ends of the Earth.
Ice oceans of the Arctic and Antarctic have revealed a trove of secrets to Census of Marine Life explorers, who were especially surprised to find at least 235 species live in both polar seas despite a distance of more than 13,000-kilometer distance in between.
Among many other findings, the scientists also documented evidence of cold water-loving species shifting towards both poles to escape rising ocean temperatures. Chionodraco hamatus, an Antarctic ice fish, can withstand temperatures that freeze the blood of all other fish types.
These discoveries result in series of landmark.
