Irfan to Replace Injured Vinay Kumar

New Delhi: All-rounder Irfan Pathan has replaced injured fast bowler R Vinay Kumar in India's squad for the upcoming Sri Lanka tour.

"R Vinay Kumar suffered a right hamstring injury while training Thursday. He will hence not be available for the forthcoming tour of Sri Lanka," confirmed a release from Board of Control for Cricket (BCCI) in India Friday.

The All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Pathan as Vinay Kumar's replacement in the Indian squad.

The BCCI statement added that "Vinay Kumar is expected to regain match-fitness in three weeks".

Pathan was overlooked for the five one-day internationals and a T20 international in Sri Lanka when the team was picked last week.

India play their first ODI in Hambantota July 21.
