Shikhar Dhawan celebrates his century against Australia at The Oval in London, on June 9, 2019. The team management was tight-lipped on a possible replacement, which may not even be called if the hairline fracture heals within two weeks. Dhawan will, however, miss the game against New Zealand on Thursday and the marquee clash against Pakistan on Sunday, a BCCI source said. Dhawan was the hero of India's win over Australia on Sunday with a knock of 117 off 109 balls. Even if Dhawan misses the Afghanistan game, the next match against West Indies in Manchester is on June 27, which gives him another six days' time to recover.
