India considers changes to its Test squad for the upcoming matches against Sri Lanka after Sai Sudharsan is ruled out or close to it due to a foot niggle. Multiple outlets report that he is “all but ruled out,” prompting selectors to look for a replacement.
Both reports name Shaik Rasheed and Sarfaraz Khan as the leading options. Yahoo Sports and Times of India both say Rasheed’s recent India A involvement has strengthened his case, with additional positive feedback from the Centre of Excellence (CoE) noted as a potential advantage. While Sarfaraz Khan is also highlighted as a frontrunner, the sources do not agree on any firm selection outcome, leaving the final call to the selectors based on fitness and performance indicators.
