Munaf to join ODI squad in Sri Lanka
Indian fast bowler Munaf Patel will join the one-day squad for the tri-series in Sri Lanka as cover for Ishant Sharma, who suffered an ankle injury and missed the first game against New Zealand on Tuesday.
Munaf was part of the Test squad, but wasn't named in the original touring party. He joined the team in Sri Lanka when Sreesanth had to pull out before the Test series due to a knee injury. The debutant Karnataka seamer Abhimanyu Mithun was preferred over Munaf, who sat out all three Tests. Mithun bowled only four overs in the opening one-dayer before suffering a heat stroke.
