India make a late squad change ahead of the third and final ODI against England at Lord’s on Saturday. All-rounder Washington Sundar is ruled out of the series decider after suffering a right hamstring injury during the second ODI at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff. The BCCI Men’s Selection Committee names Harsh Dubey, a Vidarbha all-rounder, as Sundar’s replacement.
The ODI series stands tied at 1-1 after England win the second match to level the contest. With the final game at Lord’s acting as the decider, India look to improve their ODI record at the venue, where they have not won since 2004. The team expects to rely on Virat Kohli’s recent form and is also aiming for KL Rahul to return for the final.
Sundar is set to undergo scans and consult a specialist to determine his recovery and treatment plan as India prepare their XI for the decisive match.
