India were dealt a big blow ahead of the 3rd cricket Test against New Zealand with pace head Zaheer Khan being ruled out of the final rubber because of a groin injury.
Young left-handed pacer Jaydev Unadkat has been drafted in the team in place of him.
Zaheer suffered a groin injury during the 2nd cricket Test, which ended in a domestic draw at the Rajiv Gandhi International stadium.
"Zaheer Khan is injured and is unavailable for the 3rd Test against New Zealand, to be played at Nagpur from 20th November to 24th November," BCCI secretary N Srinivasan said in a release.
"The All India Selection Committee has chosen Jayadev Unadkat to replace Zaheer Khan in the squad," it said.
Zaheer was off the field for a good part of the 4th day. The left-handed pacer bowled just 3 overs during the 5th day.
