Praveen Kumar has been ruled out of the 2011 World Cup after failing to recover from an elbow injury.
Santhakumaran Sreesanth, who underwent a fitness test at the National Cricket Academy, was named as the replacement for the UP seamer.
"The International Cricket Council has confirmed that Praveen Kumar can be replaced in the squad by Sreesanth," BCCI secretary N. Srinivasan said in a statement.
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.
The Uttar Pradesh bowler underwent a fitness test at the NCA but it seems the injury had not healed as fast as was expected, a BCCI source said.
Praveen went to England to consult Dr Andrew Wallace, a London-based surgeon who has treated many Indian players including Sachin Tendulkar, on his injured right elbow.
The pacer was under a rehabilitation programme at the NCA and had said that the injury was healing well.
