Praveen Kumar Out of Twenty20 World Cup

Bridgetown: India will miss the service of seam bowler Praveen Kumar, who was on Thursday ruled out of the ongoing Twenty20 World Cup because of an abdominal muscle tear.

Praveen had sustained the injury during a practice session at the Oval and the Indian team management sent him for an MRI which revealed a tear in abdomen muscle.

Praveen, who had played both the group matches against Afghanistan and South Africa, will return home.

Yadav, 22, got the call from the Vidarbha Cricket Association earlier in the afternoon and he will leave for the Caribbean on Friday from Mumbai. Yadav, who picked six wickets at 30 in the seven IPL matches, acknowledged the help he got from Eric Simons, the Daredevils' bowling coach, who is also the Indian team's bowling consultant.

Karnataka's R Vinay Kumar, who bagged 53 wicket in the domestic season and did well for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier league, could take Praveen's slot in the eleven.
