# WI add Amir Jangoo as cover for injured Jewel Andrew 2026-10-05T05:41:55+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets The West Indies have added wicketkeeper-batter Amir Jangoo to their T20I squad as cover for Jewel Andrew, who injured his finger during Saturday's (3 October) third ODI against India in New Chandigarh. Andrew hurt his finger while completing the catch of Naman Dhir off Gudakesh Motie in the 36th over. He was taken to hospital for an X-ray and further assessment. Cricket West Indies said Andrew is still being monitored by the medical team. The ICC reports that scans revealed no fracture. Jangoo, who has played seven T20Is since his debut in December 2024, was in strong ODI form against India, scoring 239 runs in the series at an average of 79.66. The first T20I of the five-match series will be played in Lucknow on Tuesday (6 October). ## Indian Opinion Analysis The two reports are largely uniform straight news coverage, both leading with the injury and the squad addition. The Hans India story adds more detail on the match situation, noting Andrew could not open the innings and that John Campbell replaced him at the top. The ICC piece, while shorter, specifies that scans revealed no fracture and that Andrew has not been ruled out of the T20I series, a fact the Hans India story omits. Both outlets agree on Jangoo's ODI form and the Tuesday start date in Lucknow, leaving Andrew's availability as the open question ahead of the series. ## Coverage Coverage: 2 sources, 2 neutral - thehansindia.com (neutral report) Straight injury and squad news, no editorial slant. - icc-cricket.com (neutral report) Factual report with medical update, no slant.
