Kamboj replaces injured Prasidh for final India vs West Indies ODI
Prasidh Krishna bowled only five overs in the second ODI • Associated Press
Prasidh bowled just five overs in the Guwahati ODI, conceding 45 runs and picking up the wicket of Keacy Carty in the fifth over. He left the field in the 31st over of the innings. It is understood that he has already returned to Bengaluru, his hometown, and could be a doubt for the opening round of the Ranji Trophy, which begins on October 11.
West Indies smashed 405 for 7 in their 50 overs, but India cruised past the target in just 43.3 overs on a track that has been widely panned since.
Kamboj, meanwhile, has been withdrawn from the ongoing India A vs Australia A four-day match in Puducherry to travel to New Chandigarh.
Kamboj, who picked up three wickets in the first India A vs Australia A four-dayer, had picked up three wickets in Australia A's first innings in the second game, but left the squad after bowling just two overs in Australia A's second dig.
He has never played an ODI, but has an impressive average of 22.41 from 35 List A matches, in which he has picked up 56 wickets. Kamboj made his Test debut - his only appearance for India - on the tour of England last year.
India have been splitting their top-rung players across teams because of the crammed calendar - Jasprit Bumrah, for example, is in Japan for the Asian Games - and the squad for the ODIs against West Indies now has, apart from Kamboj, Mohammed Siraj, Auqib Nabi and Gurnoor Brar.
