India Adjusts Cricket Squads Ahead of West Indies Matches
Prasidh Krishna Exits Final ODI
India has announced modifications to their cricket squads in preparation for the third ODI against the West Indies and the forthcoming T20I series. Pacer Prasidh Krishna will miss the final ODI due to a left hamstring injury sustained during the second ODI in Guwahati. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has appointed Anshul Kamboj as his replacement, who will join the team in Chandigarh.
Washington Sundar Withdrawn from T20I Lineup
In another development, Washington Sundar has been removed from the T20I squad for the series against the West Indies. This decision comes as the team shifts its focus to the upcoming ICC World Test Championship series against New Zealand. Naman Dhir, who made his ODI debut in the series opener last week, will take Sundar's place in the T20I squad.
According to a BCCI press release, the Senior Selection Committee, in consultation with the team management, decided to withdraw Sundar to allow him to participate in the Ranji Trophy season starting on October 11, providing him with a chance to prepare for the Test series.
