Yadav replaces injured Thakur for first two ODIs

Mumbai
India pace bowler Umesh Yadav will replace Shardul Thakur in the squad for the first two ODIs against West Indies, BCCI said in a press statement. Yadav claimed 10 wickets in the second Test to help India thump the visitors in Hyderabad last week to clinch a 2-0 series win. The contest was one to forget for his fellow paceman Thakur, however, who bowled just 10 balls on the opening day before pulling his hamstring. BCCI said Thakur, who was originally named in the squad for the opening two ODIs, had suffered a right adductor tendon injury and was ruled out of the series.
