India have added fast bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar to the squad for the fifth and deciding T20 against West Indies as cover for Arshdeep Singh, who is recovering from a shoulder injury. Singh was hurt during the fourth match in Hyderabad, where West Indies levelled the series at 2-2; his availability for Saturday’s match in Bengaluru will be decided before play. The 36-year-old Bhuvneshwar returns to India’s T20I setup after nearly four years away. He has also been named in India’s squad for the T20 series in New Zealand, starting October 22.
