India players KL Rahul and Prasidh Krishna were on Thursday included in Karnataka's squad for their Ranji Trophy season opener against Andhra to be played at Vijayawada from October 11.

Pacer Anshul Kamboj was on Thursday drafted in as a replacement for injured Prasidh Krishna for the third and final ODI against the West Indies to be played in Mullanpur on Saturday.

India pacer Prasidh Krishna has been ruled out of the third and final ODI of the West Indies series after sustaining a niggle during the second match, according to a BCCI source.

Indian pacer Prasidh Krishna, who delivered a strong two-wicket spell against West Indies in the first T20I, said that clarity within the team and in himself as to what needs to be done, and good communication within the team, have helped him thrive as a bowler this year.

India's bowling coach Morne Morkel wants the team management to give second-line bowlers such as Prasidh Krishna and Gurnoor Brar sufficient opportunities in the upcoming ODI series against the West Indies.

Devdutt Padikkal's assured batting at number three is the biggest gain, while Manav Suthar has made a strong case to take over the baton from Ravindra Jadeja as the team's lead Test spinner for the next decade.

India bowling coach Morne Morkel showered encomium on pacer Prasidh Krishna for ignoring "outside voices" to work hard on his game, developing into a "world class bowler."

Indian bowlers failed to break through the Sri Lankan resistance spearheaded by Sonal Dinusha and Pasindu Sooriyabandara in the company of late order batters as the home side finished day three of the second Test on 265 for eight on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant did not take the field on Day 3 of the second Test, with Dhruv Jurel donning the gloves for India.
