Unheralded Vidarbha pacer Umesh Yadav will fly to West Indies to replace Praveen Kumar, who was today ruled out of the Twenty20 World Cup due to a side strain.
"Praveen Kumar has sustained a side strain and has been ruled out of the ICC World T20 2010, as a result. The All-India Senior Selection Committee has picked Umesh Yadav as his replacement," the BCCI secretary N Srinivasan said in a statement.
Praveen, who had played both the group matches against Afghanistan and South Africa, had sustained the injury during a practice session at the 3Ws Oval and the Indian team management sent him for an MRI which revealed a a tear in abdomen muscle.
Interestingly, Yadav was not part of the pool of 30 probables and he now needs a nod from the tournament's technical committee, which is expected to be a formality.
