Abhimanyu Mithun replaces an offended Praveen Kumar in India's Test squad for the upcoming four-match away series next to Australia.
Right arm-fast bowler Mithun, who has played four Tests for India, the last in Barbados in May, has been extra to the 17-man squad after Praveen was ruled out of the Test series in Australia with a fractured rib.
Mithun joins Umesh Yadav, Varun Aaron and Ishant Sharma in India's pace department for the Australia tour, with pacer lead Zaheer Khan selected conditionally, as he has to prove his fitness before the squad's departure.
The BCCI's All-India Senior Selection Committee which met here today also replace pacer Yadav with Irfan Pathan for the last two ODIs next to the West Indies to be played in Indore and Chennai on December 8 and 11 correspondingly.
Umesh's keeping out has been the only change in the current ODI team as the selectors have retain the rest of the squad for the residual two matches against the Caribbean side, according to a statement issued by BCCI secretary Sanjay Jagdale.
Irfan, who has not played for India since 2009, drew the selector’s thought by virtue of his imposing performance in this season's Ranji Trophy, in which he is the most important wicket-taker with 21 scalps.
The BCCI statement also said that Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Ishant Sharma, Pragyan Ojha, Yadav and reserve wicket-keeper Wriddhiman Saha, who be not part of the current ODI team against West Indies, will leave for Australia early on Thursday to acclimatize to the conditions.
The seven players will be accompanying by Evan Speechly (physiotherapist), Ramji Srinivasan (trainer), Amit Shah (massage psychoanalyst) and Raghavendra DVGI (attendant).
Indian squad for last two ODIs against West Indies: Virender Sehwag (captain), Gautam Gambhir, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, Parthiv Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, R Vinay Kumar, Irfan Pathan, Varun Aaron, Rohit Sharma, Manoj Tiwary, Rahul Sharma, Abhimanyu Mithun
