“Sundar

the
rest
of
the
squad

starting

19th,”
stated

“The
All-India
Senior
Selection
Committee

named
Jayant
Yadav
as
replacement
for
Sundar.”

The
selectors
also
added
named
fast
bowler
Navdeep
Saini
as
a
back-up
for
Mohammed
Siraj
who
is
still
recovering
from
a
hamstring
injury.
Siraj
picked
up
the
injury
during
the
second
Test
in
Johannesburg.

“The
Committee
also
added
fast
bowler
Navdeep
Saini
to
the
ODI
squad
as
a
back-up

from
his
hamstring
injury
that
he
sustained
in
the
2nd
Test
against
South
Africa
in
Johannesburg,”
the
BCCI
statement
added.

Saini
like
Jayant
is
also
in
South
Africa
as
part
of
the
Test
squad
and
the
duo
have

featured
in
the
red
ball
series.

India
and
South
Africa
will

in
three
ODIs,
beginning
