India vs England 2011 - Full Coverage


Pacer Umesh Yadav is likely to miss India's remaining two one-dayers against England as he suffered a finger injury during the third ODI in Mohali on Thursday. The BCCI has said that Abhimanyu Mithun of Karnataka will replace Yadav. 

Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said at a post-match press conference that Yadav sustained an injury on a finger in his left-hand while fielding and he is expected to miss the games in Mumbai and Kolkata. 

"Umesh suffered an injury on his left-hand finger while trying to stop a Jonathan Trott shot. He will most likely miss the next two ODIs," said Dhoni. 

"We have not taken a final decision but most likely either Varun Aaron or Sreenath Aravind will take his place in the remaining two ODIs," added Dhoni.
