Anshul Kamboj made his ODI debut for India in the third ODI against West Indies on Saturday, replacing the injured Prasidh Krishna in the playing XI.
Kamboj was handed his India cap by Virat Kohli before India won the toss and opted to bat. The 24-year-old all-rounder will get his chance with the ball in the second innings.
Kamboj was called up to the squad after Krishna was ruled out. Krishna bowled only five overs in the first ODI in Guwahati, conceding 45 runs and taking the wicket of Keacy Carty before leaving the field in the 31st over.
The Haryana pacer had been in good form for India A against Australia A, picking up three wickets in the first four-day game. He had picked up three wickets in Australia A’s first innings in the second game before being called up to join the India squad.
Kamboj had never played an ODI before Saturday, but boasts an impressive List A record, with 56 wickets at an average of 22.41 in 35 matches. He made his Test debut against England last year, his only previous appearance for India.
