Cricket fans are upset as Yuvraj Singh has been ruled out of the ongoing World Twenty20 owing to his ankle injury.

Yuvraj twisted his ankle while batting in the match against Australia in Mohali. The all-rounder will now be replaced by Manish Pandey.

"The ICC has confirmed that the Event Technical Committee of the ICC World Twenty20 India 2016 has approved Manish Pandey as a replacement player for Yuvraj Singh in India's squad for the tournament," the ICC said in a statement.

Pandey, 26, has played two T20Is, which were against Zimbabwe in Harare in July last year. He has also played four ODIs.

"Any injury or illness-based replacement requires a written submission to the Event Technical Committee along with a diagnosis from a medical practitioner as to the extent of the injury or illness. Once replaced, a player may not return to the squad save as an approved subsequent replacement for another injured or ill player," the ICC stated.
