New Delhi: The Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) senior selection committee has named all-rounder Washington Sundar as a replacement for pacer Deepak Chahar for the remaining two matches of the ODI series against South Africa. Chahar had back stiffness after the third and final T20I against South Africa in Indore and was not in India's playing XI in the first ODI match played in Lucknow.

Deepak will now go back to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) and will be looked after by the medical team there. India lost the rain-interrupted first ODI by 9 runs. Both teams will now play the second match in Ranchi on Sunday. After this, the third and final ODI will be played on October 11 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.
