Andrew is still being monitored and assessed by the medical team.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Andrew hurt his finger on the last ball of the 36th over of India\u2019s innings, when batting all-rounder Naman Dhir chipped a nicely tossed-up delivery from West Indies left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie towards cover. Andrew, positioned in there, completed a catch and copped a severe blow to his finger, which forced him to go off the field for immediate medical assistance and further assessment. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>As a result, he was not be able to open the innings in the West Indies chase of 352, and John Campbell will be replaced at the top by skipper Shai Hope.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Jangoo has played seven T20Is for the West Indies since making his international debut in December 2024. His record with the bat in those games is middling: 163 runs at a strike rate of 120.74. <\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 29-year-old Jangoo was impressive form in the ODIs against India, scoring 58 not out, 114 and 67 to finish third on the run-scorers' list across teams, his tally of 239 runs only behind those of Shubman Gill (334) and Shai Hope (278).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Jangoo has played seven T20Is for the West Indies since making his international debut in December 2024.
