Praveen ruled out of WC: Reports


According to reports, Praveen Kumar has been ruled out of the 2011 World Cup after suffering an elbow injury.

Praveen Kumar, who returned early from the ODI series in South Africa to recover in time for the World Cup, went to England for further treatment but doctors took a final call on his fitness and ruled him out after the medical check-ups.

Santhakumaran Sreesanth, who was present at the National Cricket Academy in Bangalore for a fitness test, is the likely replacement for the UP seamer. There is no official word from the BCCI but it is learnt that the Indian board wants to first approach the ICC's technical committee to report on Praveen's injury and get the approval for his replacement.
