Ahead of India’s third and final ODI against England at Lord’s on Saturday, left-arm spinner Harsh Dubey took Washington Sundar’s position in the team due to an injury.
India hopes to win on Sunday to make up for their 0-4 loss in the previous T20I rubber, as the series is now level at 1-1.
“The Men’s Selection Committee has named Harsh Dubey as Washington Sundar’s replacement for the third and final ODI against England at Lord’s,” the BCCI said in a media release.
After speaking with a physician, Washington will now go through the healing procedure.
“Washington sustained a right hamstring injury during the second ODI at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, and has been ruled out of the remainder of the series. He will undergo scans and seek a specialist opinion for further management of his injury,” the board said.
In the June home series against Afghanistan, Dubey made his ODI debut and came back with four wickets in two games.
Later this month, the 23-year-old will travel to Zimbabwe with India’s Twenty20 International team.
India’s squad for the third ODI: 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, Harsh Dubey
