Injured left-arm spinner Daniel Vettori has been replaced by Yogesh Nagar in the Delhi Daredevils squad for the inaugural Champions League Twenty20 tournament, starting in Bangalore on Thursday.

The Champions League Technical Committee okayed the change in the Daredevils squad, which will play their first match against Victorian Bushrangers on Friday at the Ferozeshah Kotla ground in Delhi.

Vettori, a key member of Daredevils' spin department, is nursing a hamstring injury, suffered during the ICC Champions Trophy in South Africa.

The Daredevils had earlier replaced injured Paul Collingwood with Glenn McGrath.
