Akshar Patel added to Indian ODI, T20 squad

Left-arm spinner Akshar Patel was on Tuesday named in the Indian squad for the remaining two one-dayers against the West Indies and was also picked in the 14-strong team announced for the one-off Twenty20 against the touring side.

The selectors did not make any changes to the ODI squad apart from adding Patel and retained pacer Ishant Sharma, who was brought in to replace the injured Mohit Sharma.

In the Twenty20 side, the selectors rewarded Manish Pandey for his decent performance in the IPL.

The match between the two sides is scheduled on October 22 in Cuttack.
