    Digital Desk: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced on Friday that spinner Kuldeep Yadav has been added to India's team for the third and final ODI of the three-match series against Bangladesh.


    India has lost the three-match ODI series 0-2 against host Bangladesh. "India captain Rohit Sharma suffered a blow to his thumb in the second over while fielding in the 2nd ODI. The BCCI Medical Team assessed him and he underwent scans at a local hospital in Dhaka. He has flown to Mumbai for specialist consultation and will miss the final ODI. A call on his availability for the upcoming Test series will be taken later," the BCCI said in a statement.


    Rohit was one of three players confirmed by head coach Rahul Dravid to miss the third ODI against Bangladesh. Dravid stated that Rohit would miss the third ODI and head to Mumbai to consult with an expert.


    Meanwhile, fast bowler Kuldeep Sen complained of back stiffness following the first ODI. The BCCI Medical Team examined him and advised him to skip the second ODI.


    Kuldeep Sen has been diagnosed with a stress injury and will miss the series. Fellow fast bowler, Deepak Chahar suffered a left hamstring strain during the second ODI and is now out of the series. Kuldeep and Deepak will now both report to the NCA for further treatment of their injuries.


    The All-India Senior Selection Committee has added Kuldeep Yadav to India's team for the third and final ODI.
