NEW DELHI -- Wicketkeeper-batsman Jonny Bairstow will replace injured opener Alex Hales in England's squad for the three-match Twenty20 series against India, the English cricket board said on Saturday. Hales has been ruled out of the third and final one-day international against India on Sunday after he fractured his right hand while attempting a catch in the second ODI in Cuttack. "Jonathan Bairstow has replaced Alex Hales in England's IT20 squad," the England and Wales Cricket Board said in a statement Saturday. The Eoin Morgan-led England team is trailing the ODI series 2-0 after India won the second one-dayer by 15 runs. The final ODI will take place in Kolkata on Sunday.
