Bhuvneshwar Kumar's comeback to India's T20I team has been preponed, with the experienced pacer added to the squad for the fifth and final game of the ongoing series against the West Indies, which will be played on Saturday, October 16, at the M.

A decision on his participation for the final T20I will be taken prior to the game based on his recovery," the BCCI stated in an official release on Friday.
