Here's India's squad for the first two ODIs against West Indies.
Umesh Yadav has been rewarded for his fine showing in the just-concluded Test series against West Indies with a spot in India's squad for the first two ODIs against the Caribbean side.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday put out a statement in which it said that Shardul Thakur has failed to recover from the right adductor tendon injury he suffered during his Test debut last week.
"The All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Umesh Yadav as Shardul Thakur’s replacement in India’s squad for the first two ODIs against Windies. Mr Thakur suffered a right adductor tendon injury and has been ruled out of the Paytm ODI series," wrote BCCI in its statement.
Shardul's much-awaited Test debut ended in a nightmare in Hyderabad as he bowled only 10 deliveries before hobbling out with a groin strain. There has been considerable debate as to whether the Mumbaikar, who turned 27 on Tuesday, was fully fit and proper rehabilitation was done before naming him in the Test squad.
Umesh got the nod from the selection committee after his superb show in Hyderabad where he got 6 for 88 and 4 for 45 in the two innings. He has so far picked 105 wickets from 73 ODIs with his last appearance in July against England at the Lord's.
After the two-Test series, India take on West Indies in five ODIs followed by three T20Is.
