Vinay Kumar replaces injured Kulkarni for ODIs

Pacer Vinay Kumar has replaced Dhawal Kulkarni in India’s squad for the three ODIs against the West Indies starting Nov 21 at Kochi.

“Dhawal Kulkarni has sustained a foot injury. The All-India Senior Selection Committee has picked Vinay Kumar as his replacement,” said a BCCI statement issued Thursday.

It must be a disappointing turn of events for Kulkarni, who is yet to make his international debut.
