All-rounder Washington Sundar replaced seamer Deepak Chahar in the Indian squad for the remainder of the India vs South Africa ODI series, announced BCCI on Saturday. The decision was taken after Chahar complained of stiffness in his back after the third and final T20 against South Africa earlier.
The 30-year-old bowler also missed the rain-affected first ODI played in Lucknow, which India lost by nine runs.
“The All-India Senior Selection Committee named Washington Sundar as a replacement for Deepak Chahar for the remainder of the ODI series against South Africa,” wrote BCCI in its press release. “Mr. Chahar had a stiffness in his back after the third and final T20I against South Africa in Indore and did not feature in India’s Playing XI in the first ODI in Lucknow.”
