IND vs NZ | Prithvi Shaw gets ODI call-up; Shikhar Dhawan ruled out with injury
Prithvi Shaw, who struck a 100-ball 150 in a warm-up game vs New Zealand A, has been called up to the ODI squad in place of the injured Shikhar Dhawan. Meanwhile, Sanju Samson, who featured in a lone T20I against the Lankans in the home season, replaces the left-hander in the T20is.
Opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan has been ruled out of the upcoming T20I and ODI series against New Zealand. Dhawan suffered a fall and hurt his left shoulder while trying to stop a ball during the third Paytm ODI against Australia in Bengaluru on Sunday, 19th January 2020.
An MRI of his shoulder was conducted, and the results have confirmed a grade II injury of his acromio-clavicular joint. His hand will be in a sling and he has been advised rest for some time. He will start his active rehab management in the first week of February at the National Cricket Academy.
The All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Sanju Samson as Dhawan’s replacement in the T20I series and Prithvi Shaw for the ODI series.
