Ruturaj Gaikwad Ruled Out Of India’s Tests Against South Africa Due To Finger Injury; Abhimanyu Easwaran Named Replacement
ICC World Test Championship: Opener Ruturaj Gaikwad has been ruled out of India’s upcoming two- match Test series against South Africa because of a finger injury. Abhimanyu Easwaran, who is currently in South Africa as part of the India A squad, has been named as Gaikwad’s replacement.
Gaikwad had picked up the injury to his right ring finger while fielding during India’s second ODI against South Africa in Gqeberha. BCCI said Gaikwad underwent scans, and following an expert consultation, the Medical Team has ruled him out of the remainder of the tour. Gaikwad will be reporting to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru for further management of his injury.
Easwaran, the prolific opener for Bengal, had earlier been a part of India’s Test tour of Bangladesh last year as a replacement for injured captain Rohit Sharma. A regular with the India ‘A’ side, Easwaran was named as one of five standby players in India's Test squad for their home series against England in 2021.
