Mumbai Mumbai. Left-arm fast bowler Yash Dayal has been included in India's list of reserve fast bowlers after Khaleel Ahmed was sent back home due to an undisclosed injury. Dayal, who was included in the Test squad during the Bangladesh series, was in South Africa for the T20 series but did not play a single match. After Khalil got injured, he became unable to bowl in the nets, after which he came straight to Perth from Johannesburg. The medical team advised the Rajasthan left-arm bowler to rest and hence it was decided that Dayal would fly out, while Khalil would return home. “It was a replacement of sorts as the Indian team needs simulation for Mitchell Starc,” a BCCI source aware of the development told PTI on Wednesday. Dayal was originally scheduled to play the A Test, but he was dropped from South Africa. Was sent off. If Khalil couldn't bowl, there was no point in keeping him back.” It is unclear whether Khalil will be able to play the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy T20 tournament matches before the auction as he has been released by Delhi Capitals and he would like to enjoy the bidding war among the franchises during the upcoming mega auction.
Dayal has been retained by Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Yashasvi Jaiswal suffered a blow to his shoulder while batting on Tuesday, which required medical attention.
However, it was a matter of relief for the team that Jaiswal returned to the nets on Wednesday.
