The International Cricket Council on Thursday confirmed stumper-batsman Dinesh Karthik as the replacement for the injured Virender Sehwag in India’s Twenty20 World Cup squad.
The ICC Event Technical Committee also approved Aaron Redmond as a replacement player for Jesse Ryder in the New Zealand squad, who made an appearance for the Black Caps during their first Super Eights game against Ireland on Thursday.
Karthik takes over from Sehwag who has not recovered from an injury to his right shoulder that ended his Twenty20 World Cup campaign without playing a single match. Meanwhile, Redmond came into the New Zealand squad due to the fact that Ryder is suffering from an abdominal illness and is unable to take any further part in the event.
“The committee reviewed the medical reports and was satisfied the reasons for the replacements were both genuine and as such has granted the BCCI and NZC (New Zealand Cricket) the right to replace the players on medical grounds,” the ICC said in a statement.
