Dhawan out of WI T20Is
India’s opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has been ruled out of the upcoming T20I series against West Indies, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said on Wednesday.
Dhawan, who suffered a deep cut on his left knee during a Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy domestic competition game against Maharashtra in Surat, has been replaced by Sanju Samson.
The BCCI medical team assessed Dhawan on Tuesday to review the healing of his wound and suggested that he needs some more time for his stitches to come off and his wound to heal completely, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah said in a statement.
The senior selection committee named Sanju Samson as Dhawan’s replacement for the T20I series.
