New Delhi, Jul 12: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has named Prince Yadav as the replacement for injured pacer Harshit Rana in India's upcoming three-match ODI series against England, while leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi has been drafted into the T20I squad for the Zimbabwe series in place of Varun Chakaravarthy.

According to the BCCI, Harshit Rana sustained a Grade 1 hamstring injury after experiencing discomfort during the third T20I against England. He has been ruled out of the ODI series and has reported to the BCCI Centre of Excellence (CoE) for further assessment and rehabilitation.

Varun Chakaravarthy also suffered a hamstring injury during the same match. Medical scans revealed a Grade 2 hamstring injury, and he too has been referred to the BCCI CoE for further evaluation.

India will begin the three-match ODI series against England at Edgbaston in Birmingham on July 14, with the remaining matches scheduled for July 16 and 19.

The Men in Blue will be aiming for a strong comeback after losing the preceding five-match T20I series 4-0, with the opening game having been washed out due to rain. The return of senior batters Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli is expected to bolster India's chances in the 50-over format.
