Team India has roped in senior pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar for a comeback ahead of initial plans, as they named him for the series-deciding fifth T20I against the West Indies on Friday. Bhuvneshwar has been roped in as a replacement for Arshdeep Singh, who sustained an injury during the fourth T20I in Hyderabad.

The 36-year-old is marking a comeback to the side for the first time in four years, since his last match against New Zealand in November 2022.

"Bhuvneshwar Kumar was added to the squad after Arshdeep Singh sustained a blow to his bowling shoulder during the fourth T20I of the series against West Indies on Wednesday in Hyderabad. A decision on his participation for the final T20I will be taken prior to the game based on his recovery," a statement from the BCCI read.
