Team India had a major injury scare on Saturday when Suryakumar Yadav sustained a blow to his right wrist and he walked off the optional practice session.

Thankfully, it has been learnt that Sky's injury was not serious and he is all set to play the India vs New Zealand ODI World Cup 2023 game on Sunday in Dharamsala.

According to a report in the Indian Express, Mohammed Shami is also to be included in the playing XI in place of Shardul Thakur. 

An injury to all-rounder Hardik Pandya opened up two places in the Indian team for the much-anticipated game against the Kiwis.

'I think there are different combinations we could come up with. Obviously, the three seamers, having someone like Shami sitting out there and bringing him in this game is a great option,' Rahul Dravid said on the eve of the match.
