Wicketkeeper-batter Sanju Samson on Friday replaced an indisposed K L Rahul in India's T20I squad for the ongoing series against the West Indies, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said.
"K L Rahul was earlier named in the squad and his participation in the T20I series was subject to fitness. The batter tested positive for COVID-19 last week and has been advised rest by the BCCI medical team," BCCI secretary Jay Shah said in a statement.
Sanju was part of the squad in the recently concluded ODI series that the team won 3-0 and scored a half-century in the second game.
India's squad: Rohit Sharma (capt), Ishan Kishan, Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Hooda, Shreyas Iyer, Dinesh Karthik, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, R Ashwin, Ravi Bishnoi, Kuldeep Yadav, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Avesh Khan, Harshal Patel, Arshdeep Singh.
