New Delhi - All-rounder Irfan Pathan has replaced injured fast bowler R.Vinay Kumar in India’s squad for the upcoming Sri Lanka tour.
“R. Vinay Kumar suffered a right hamstring injury while training on Thursday. He will hence not be available for the forthcoming tour of Sri Lanka,” confirmed a release from Board of Control for Cricket (BCCI) in India on Friday.
“The All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Pathan as Vinay Kumar’s replacement in the Indian squad.”
The BCCI statement added that “Vinay Kumar is expected to regain match-fitness in three weeks”.
