India swept the West Indies in the recently finished
three-match ODI series, and they will be fired up for the T20I series. On February 16, the first
of the three-match series was contested at Kolkata's iconic Eden Gardens. As the Men in Blue
prepare to win their second consecutive T20I series under Rohit Sharma's guidance, they have
suffered a significant setback just days before the series begins.
Washington Sundar, a bowling all-rounder, has been ruled out of the upcoming T20I series against the two-time champions and would need a few weeks to recover. Officials from the Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) have stated that the southpaw has sustained a Grade 1 hamstring injury and that he will be required to report to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) on Tuesday for a three-week stay.
The 22-year-old left the Indian camp in Kolkata for the NCA's headquarters in Bengaluru. The bowling all-rounder came back to the highest level in the recent One Day Series. In the meantime, Washington Sundar has been ruled out of the West Indies T20I series for the third time.
India has a limited number of overs. KL Rahul and Axar Patel, a left-arm spinner, have been ruled out of the three-match series. After recuperating from COVID-19, Axar has resumed the final part of his rehabilitation after suffering an upper left hamstring injury while fielding in the second ODI. According to a notification from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the All-India Senior Selection Committee has named Ruturaj Gaikwad and Deepak Hooda as substitutes. However, the selection committee is unlikely to name a replacement for Sundar based on bio-security regulations.
The Tamil Nadu cricketer should be fit before the IPL 2022, which will commence on March 27. Sundar was signed by the 2016 winners Sunrisers Hyderabad for INR 8.75 crore at the IPL 2022 mega auction after being released by the Royal Challengers Bangalore on November 30, 2021.
