The Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) has confirmed that Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been ruled out of the T20 series against Australia owing to a fractured thumb.

Bhuvneshwar, who came in as a replacement of Mohammad Shami for the ODI series, will be replaced by allrounder Rishi Dhawan for the rest of the tour.

“BCCI medical team has confirmed that Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been ruled out of India’s tour of Australia after he fractured his left-hand thumb.”

“All-rounder Rishi Dhawan has been included in the T20I team as Bhuvneshwar’s replacement,” BCCI confirmed in a statement.

Meanwhile, allrounder Gurkeerat Singh Mann has been retained with the team for the three-match T20 series because of Ajinkya Rahane’s injury.

“The All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Gurkeerat Singh Mann in the India T20I team as a cover for injured Ajinkya Rahane,” the statement said.
