India vs Bangladesh: BCCI added Kuldeep Yadav to India’s squad for the third ODI

Left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav has been added to India’s squad for the third ODI against Bangladesh on Saturday. The decision was taken after three Indian cricketers Rohit Sharma, Kuldeep Sen, and Deepak Chahar were ruled out of the final match of the series due to injuries.

Skipper Rohit Sharma suffered a blow to his thumb in the second over while fielding in the 2nd ODI in Dhaka. In Rohit’s absence, vice-captain KL Rahul will lead India in the series finale.

“India captain Rohit Sharma suffered a blow to his thumb in the second over while fielding in the 2nd ODI. The BCCI Medical Team assessed him and he underwent scans at a local hospital in Dhaka. He has flown to Mumbai for specialist consultation and will miss the final ODI. A call on his availability for the upcoming Test series will be taken later,” BCCI said in a statement.

On the other hand, fast bowler Kuldeep Sen who made his debut in the series opener in Mirpur has been diagnosed with a stress injury while Chahar is down with a hamstring strain again.

“Fast bowler Kuldeep Sen complained of stiffness in his back after the first ODI. The BCCI medical team assessed him and he was advised to rest from the 2nd ODI. Kuldeep has been diagnosed with a stress injury and is ruled out of the series. Fellow fast bowler Deepak Chahar sustained a left hamstring strain during the 2nd ODI and is also ruled out of the series. Both Kuldeep and Deepak will now report to NCA for further management of their injuries,” the release added.

Revised India squad for 3rd ODI against Bangladesh: KL Rahul (C) (WK), Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Shreyas Iyer, Rahul Tripathi, Ishan Kishan (WK), Shahbaz Ahmed, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Mohd. Siraj, Umran Malik, Kuldeep Yadav.
