A key change has taken place in Team India before the last match of the ongoing T20 series against West Indies. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) officially announced on Friday that experienced pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been included in the team as young fast bowler Arshdeep Singh has been injured. This fifth and final match of the series has a key importance. The team that wins this battle will be the series winner. Currently, Team India and West Indies are tied 2-2. At this time, the arrival of a senior bowler like Bhuvneshwar Kumar is instilling new enthusiasm in the team.

Going into details...

Arshdeep Singh injured his bowling shoulder (right shoulder if he is a right-handed bowler, left shoulder if he is a left-handed bowler) while fielding during the fourth T20 match held in Hyderabad on Wednesday. He is currently under medical supervision. "We are assessing the severity of the injury and will take a final decision on his playing in the final T20I in Bengaluru on Saturday, depending on his recovery," BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said in a statement.

In this context, the selection committee has selected Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the squad as a precautionary measure. If Arshdeep is unavailable for the match, Bhuvneshwar is likely to play in the final team. The fifth and final T20I of the series will be played at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on October 17.

India squad for the 5th T20I against West Indies:
Shreyas Iyer (captain), Abhishek Sharma, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Tilak Verma (vice-captain), Shivam Dubey, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Arshdeep Singh, Prince Yadav, Mayank Yadav, Naman Dhir, Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
