India vs West Indies: Washington Sundar ruled out of T20I series

Washington Sundar has been ruled out of the India’s three-match T20I series against the West Indies that starts on Wednesday. The spin-allrounder didn’t turn up for the Indian team’s training at Eden Gardens on Monday and team sources confirmed that he would miss the series.
It needs to be seen if the selectors name a replacement for Washington. All three matches of the series would be played in Kolkata, on February 16, 18 and 20.

Washington, who became a Rs 8.75-crore buy for Sunrisers Hyderabad at the IPL auction, has been plagued injuries of late. A finger injury sustained in July last year had ruled him out of the T20 World Cup. He missed the South Africa tour after testing positive for Covid.
The Chennai-based Washington came back to competitive cricket in the Vijay Hazare Trophy after a long layoff.

Vice-captain KL Rahul and left-arm spinner Axar Patel were already ruled out of the T20I series due to injuries.
With Patel out of the squad and now Washington also ruled out, the Indian team is left with only Yuzvendra Chahal as its frontline spinner.
