An official, Sanjay Jagdale, from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), disclosed the news to media. Jagdale, the secretary of BCCI, also brought to the forefront the name of player who has been named as Praveen’s replacement.
Jagdale said, “Praveen Kumar has got an injury on the left side of his chest, and has therefore been ruled out of the first three ODIs against the West Indies. Abhimanyu Mithun will replace him in the squad for the first three games.”
Praveen is no alien to injuries; the right-arm pacer’s career has been plagued with them. Elbow injury is the most recurring injury that has forced the speedster to sit out of matches.
The 25-year-old had earlier requested the BCCI not to include him in the Test series against West Indies, as he needed some time off to recuperate from elbow injury and was ruled out of first ODI due to same reason.
Apart from Praveen, the Indians will be missing the services of Yuvraj Singh, Mahendra Singh and Sachin Tendulkar during the ODI series. Yuvraj is still in on the road to recovery from the non-malignant tumour, while Dhoni and Tendulkar have been given rest.
The ODI series between India and West Indies starts from Tuesday, November 29 with a match at Barabati Stadium, Cuttack.
