Team India are the only team yet to lose a game at the ODI World Cup 2023 as they have won all their seven matches so far to qualify for the semi-finals. However, the Men in Blue camp received a major blow as star all-rounder Hardik Pandya has been ruled out of the World Cup after failing to recover from his ankle injury.
The Event Technical Committee of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 has approved Prasidh Krishna as a replacement for Hardik Pandya in the India squad.
Krishna, who has played 17 ODIs, was named as a replacement after Pandya was ruled out of the tournament, failing to recover from an injury to his left ankle during the league match against Bangladesh on 19 October.
The replacement of a player requires the approval of the Event Technical Committee before the player can be officially added to the squad.
