Washington Sundar withdraws from India vs West Indies T20I series

Summary

Washington Sundar has been withdrawn from India’s T20I squad for the series against the West Indies, starting today in Lucknow. His absence is due to a scheduling decision aimed at preparing him for upcoming Test matches in New Zealand, rather than fitness concerns. Naman Dhir will replace Sundar in the squad. Sundar is set to participate in the Ranji Trophy for Tamil Nadu, which begins on October 11, to gain valuable first-class experience ahead of the Tests later this year.
