The Board of Control for Cricket in India confirmed on Friday that pacer Prasidh Krishna has been ruled out of the upcoming five-match ODI series against New Zealand as he continues to recover from a hamstring injury.
The right-arm pacer needs more time to regain full match fitness and build up his bowling workload before returning to competitive cricket. His addition to the squad for the New Zealand 50-over assignment was subject to fitness clearance.
However, he remains in contention for the Tests as the Board said Prasidh will be added to the India A squad for the third and final game against New Zealand A beginning November 7 if he clears the fitness assessment.
