Bhuvneshwar Kumar gets surprise India selection vs WI after Arshdeep Singh's shoulder injury

India’s T20I series against the West Indies took an unexpected turn ahead of the final match in Bengaluru, as Arshdeep Singh’s shoulder injury in the fourth game of the series ruled him out of the decider. The setback prompted the Indian selection committee to recall Bhuvneshwar Kumar, a seasoned fast bowler, to replace Singh in the squad for the October 17 clash at M Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Kumar’s return marks an earlier comeback than initially anticipated, as he was previously expected to feature in India’s upcoming T20I series in New Zealand. The injury to Singh, who had been a key player in the series, opens the door for Kumar to reclaim his spot in the national team’s short-form lineup.
