India hit by injury again

India have been hit with two more injury-forced withdrawals for their Test tour of the Caribbean starting later this month.
Pacers Zaheer Khan and Shantha Sreesanth were ruled out yesterday with injuries, further ravaging the squad already without several of its best players.
Twenty one-year-old Abhimanyu Mithun and one-day specialist Praveen Kumar have been called up as replacements.
The withdrawal of Zaheer and Sreesanth from the squad will be a huge blow for India and leaves seamers Ishant Sharma and Munaf Patel to lead the attack.
West Indies play India in a three-Test series starting June 20 at Sabina Park in Jamaica.
