The ICC’s Event Technical Committee of the ongoing U-19 World Cup on Saturday approved Aaradhya Yadav as a replacement for Vasu Vats who was injured in the India squad.
“Vats has sustained a hamstring injury and will not be able to take any further part in the event,” the ICC said.
The replacement of any player requires the approval of the Event Technical Committee before the replacement player can be officially added to the squad.
The Event Technical Committee consists of the Chair Chris Tetley-ICC Head of Events, Ben Leaver-ICC Senior Event Manager, Fawwaz Baksh -Tournament Director, Roland Holder-CWI Representative, Alan Wilkins and Russel Arnold- the independent representatives.
Indian Squad are set to face Bangladesh in the Super League semifinal on Saturday.
