Bhuvneshwar Kumar Added to India Squad for Final T20I After Arshdeep Singh Injury
Veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been added to India's squad for the fifth and final T20I against the West Indies on October 17 in Bengaluru, replacing Arshdeep Singh, who sustained a shoulder injury during the fourth match in Hyderabad. The series is tied 2-2. Bhuvneshwar's participation will depend on Arshdeep's recovery. This marks Bhuvneshwar's potential return to international cricket after nearly four years, ahead of India's upcoming T20 series against New Zealand.
