Bhuvneshwar Kumar is set to join India for the fifth T20I against the West Indies after Arshdeep Singh suffered a shoulder injury in Hyderabad. The Hong Kong Sixes tournament is scheduled from October 30 to November 1, with 12 teams competing in a fast-paced format in which each side fields six players.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been recalled to India’s T20I squad for the five-match series against New Zealand, starting October 22. The series overlaps with the six-a-side tournament, making it difficult for Bhuvneshwar Kumar to feature in both events.
The Indian squad also features IPL performers Shashank Singh, Rahul Tewatia, Nitish Rana, Rahul Tripathi and left-arm pacer T Natarajan. All the selected players are active cricketers, and every member except Shashank has represented India at the senior international level.
