Kuldeep Yadav added to India's ODI squad for 3rd ODI

In the second ODI, India captain Rohit Sharma was hit on the thumb while fielding in the second over. The BCCI Medical Team evaluated him, and he underwent scans at a local Dhaka hospital. He has flown to Mumbai for medical advice and will miss the final ODI. His availability for the upcoming Test series will be determined later. In another development, The All-India Senior Selection Committee has added Kuldeep Yadav to India’s squad for the third and final ODI.

After the first ODI, fast bowler Kuldeep Sen complained of back stiffness. The BCCI Medical Team examined him and advised him to sit out the second ODI. Kuldeep has a stress injury and will miss the rest of the series. Deepak Chahar, another fast bowler, suffered a left hamstring strain during the second ODI and is also out of the series. Kuldeep and Deepak will now both report to the NCA for further treatment of their injuries.

Shami and Jadeja are Unlikely for the Tests

Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami are unlikely to be fit for the two-match Test series against Bangladesh, which begins on December 14 in Chattogram. Due to injuries, both players missed the previous ODI series. In their absence, India will most likely replace them with Saurabh Kumar and Navdeep Saini. Both Saurabh and Saini are currently on tour with India A in Bangladesh.

Jadeja is still recovering from knee surgery he had earlier this year in September, and Shami is nursing a shoulder injury. Shami sustained the injury during a training session after returning from Australia, where India lost in the T20 World Cup semi-finals last month.

India’s 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.
