Medium-pacer Praveen Kumar has been ruled out of the first three one-day internationals against West Indies because of a chest injury and will be replaced in India's squad by Karnataka fast bowler AbhimanyuMithun. The first match of the series will be played at Cuttack tomorrow.
This has been an injury-prone year for Praveen as he was forced to miss India's successful campaign in the 2011 World Cup because of a tennis elbow injury. He then injured his ankle during the Test series in England.
