NOTTINGHAM, England (Reuters) - A hand injury suffered in the match against Australia has thrown Shikhar Dhawan's further World Cup participation into doubt but the in-form opener will remain with the team, the Indian cricket board (BCCI) said on Tuesday.

Dhawan was batting on 24 when a Pat Cummins bouncer hit him on the back of his left hand in the region between the index finger and thumb during the game at The Oval on Sunday.
