After Shikhar Dhawan, Indian fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar has also been ruled out of the 3-match ODI series against the West Indies due to injury. Maybe Shardul Thakur can be included in the team in his place. However, no official statement has come from the BCCI so far.
Bhuvi suffered an injury during the T20 series against the West Indies. There is no precise information about where the injury occurred, but it is believed that this is not a muscle injury, which he suffered during the World Cup. The Indian team has started practice in Chennai for the first ODI against the West Indies on Sunday. After training, bowling coach Bharat Arun said on Bhubaneswar’s injury that a statement would be issued after discussing it with the physiotherapist.
