Naman Dhir replaces Washington Sundar in India's WI T20I squad
What's the story
All-rounder Washington Sundar has been withdrawn from India's upcoming five-match T20I series against the West Indies. Naman Dhir has been named as his replacement, the BCCI said in a release on October 1. The decision comes as Sundar is currently participating in the Asian Games in Japan and is expected to play some red-ball cricket before the two-Test series against New Zealand begins on November 19.
