“Vats has sustained a hamstring injury and will be unable to take any further part in the event,” the ICC said in a statement. Incidentally, Vasu also came in as a replacement for Manav Parakh after the latter tested positive for COVID-19. 

The replacement of a player requires the approval of the Event Technical Committee before the replacement player can be officially added to the squad.
