Jamieson, who has played 13 ODIs, was named as a replacement after Henry was ruled out due to a right hamstring injury sustained during Wednesday’s match against South Africa in Pune.
The replacement of a player requires the approval of the Event Technical Committee before the player can be officially added to the squad.
