London: Left-arm spinner Harsh Dubey Saturday replaced injured Washington Sundar in India’s squad ahead of the third and final ODI against England at Lord’s.
The series is now levelled at 1-1, and India eye a victory Sunday to atone for their 0-4 defeat in the preceding T20I rubber.
“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.
Washington will now undergo the recuperation process after consulting a specialist.
“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.
