The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially added veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar to the national squad for the concluding match of the five-game T20 series against the West Indies. The decision to bolster the bowling lineup follows concerns over the availability of Arshdeep Singh, who is currently listed as a doubt for the final encounter.

While the team management has not provided specific details regarding the nature of Singh's potential injury or illness, the late addition of Kumar suggests a precautionary measure to ensure the team maintains its bowling depth. Kumar, known for his ability to swing the ball, brings significant experience to the side as they look to close out the series. The final match is set to take place following the conclusion of the previous fixtures in the series, with both teams looking to finalize their tactical approaches before the series finale.
