Karn Sharma has been ruled out of India's forthcoming limited overs tour of Zimbabwe due to a finger injury.
However, the BCCI will not be naming a replacement for the leg-spin bowler who will miss three ODIs and two T20 matches - all in Harare.
A statement by the BCCI reads: "Our medical team confirms that Karn Sharma has been ruled out of India's tour of Zimbabwe.
"Karn has fractured his left middle finger. There will be no replacement for him for the Zimbabwe tour."
The 27-year-old has played one test, two ODIs and one T20 international.
India is sending a second-string squad led by batsman Ajinkya Rahane, while Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina and Ravichandran Ashwin are all rested.
The ODIs are scheduled for July 10, 12 and 14 while the T20 games are on July 17 and 19.
