Dhrushant Soni replaces Saurabh Dubey in India U-23 squad for Bangladesh series

A medical illness has ruled out Dhrushant Soni from the India U-23 squad that will play Bangladesh in a five-match one day series.

Soni was originally named in the 15-man squad for the series that got underway from Thursday in Lucknow.

BCCI’s All-India Junior Selection Committee has announced Saurabh Dubey, a left-arm pacer and right-hand batsman, as his replacement.

“Soni who was originally named in the squad has been ruled out of the tournament due to a medical illness. Left-arm medium pacer & right-hand batsman Saurabh Dubey from Vidarbha will replace Soni in the squad,” BCCI said in a release on Thursday.

The series opening fixture, however, has been delayed by rain. All five matches will be played in Lucknow’s Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium.
