Washington Sundar set to join India squad ahead of Namibia clash

He was injured during an ODI match against New Zealand, where the first ODI match was played in Vadodara on the 11th of January. Because of the injuries caused to Sundar, Sundar was unable to play for New Zealand in the ODI series and T20 series. There was a doubt whether Sundar would feature in the World Cup or not.

India skipper Suryakumar Yadav revealed that Sundar is well after the victory against the USA side in Mumbai. Suryakumar Yadav said that Sundar is well and has no issues. His services will now be with the team in Delhi. Sundar has been rehabilitating at the BCCI Centre in Bengaluru, starting off hitting and then moving to bowling with the BCCI reporting that Sundar suffered from side strain and a mild rib injury.

India did not rush to formally name a replacement. They included Ayush Badoni in the ODI squad, Ravi Bishnoi in the squad for T20Is, and also kept Riyan Parag as an alternative option on the list. Teams could have replaced players because of injury as per the rules but they chose to wait for Sundar's availability.

Therefore while Sundar is included in the squad that does not necessarily mean he will play. However, he is a good indication that he is getting himself physically fit to be part of India's World Cup squad.
