Rishabh Pant, a dynamic batsman and wicket-keeper, replaced Dhawan in India's squad. "Shikhar has a fracture at the base of his first metacarpal on his left hand," team manager Sunil Subramanian told reporters in Southampton.
"Following several specialist opinions, he will remain in a cast until mid-July, which rules him out of the ICC World Cup 2019," Subramanian said.

It's the first semifinal and now it is do or die for India and New Zealand. The winner has a shot at the title on July 14 and the loser goes home from the ICC Cricket World Cup. Emotions and tension are running high, given how important this match is.
The last time we met New Zealand in the World Cup was March 14, 2003, the date we all remember as the Men in Blue destroyed the Black Caps without batting an eyelid.

We faced off in the Super Six stage where 6 teams were fighting for 4 semifinal slots. India were already through, but were in no mood to ease up on pressure.
This was in the course of our 8 straight wins. We would make it to the final, while the Kiwis never made it to the semis. India won 9 out of 11 games, both losses coming to eventual champions and defending champions Australia. The Aussies would win the next edition as well.
