Harsh Dubey Takes Over for Washington Sundar

Harsh Dubey has been appointed as the replacement for Washington Sundar in the Indian cricket team for the third and final ODI against England at Lord's. Sundar has been sidelined due to a right hamstring injury he incurred during the second ODI in Cardiff. He will undergo additional scans and consult with specialists to decide on the appropriate treatment.

Decisive Match Ahead at Lord's

Dubey's selection comes just before a pivotal match, as the three-match series stands tied at 1-1. England managed to equalize after their earlier loss in Birmingham, setting the stage for a decisive showdown at Lord's, known as the Home of Cricket.

India is striving for their first ODI victory at Lord's since 2004, and winning this match would not only clinch the series but also conclude their tour on a triumphant note.

Revised Indian Squad for the Final ODI

The updated Indian squad for the third ODI includes: Shubman Gill (Captain), Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer (Vice-Captain), KL Rahul (Wicketkeeper), Ishan Kishan (Wicketkeeper), Axar Patel, Shivam Dube, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Prasidh Krishna, Arshdeep Singh, Gurnoor Brar, Prince Yadav, and Harsh Dubey.
