India fast bowler Deepak Chahar has been ruled out of the third and final ODI against West Indies in Cuttak due to a back injury. Meanwhile, Haryana pacer Navdeep Saini, who made his international debut for India in T20 against West Indies this year, will replace Chahar in the team.
Chahar, who was a part of India XI in the first two ODIs against Windies, returned figures of 1 for 48 and none for 44 before his back pain forced him to get out of the final match in Visakhapatnam.

He has thus been ruled out of the final ODI.”
