The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is reportedly considering replacements ahead of India’s upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka after Sai Sudharsan is ruled out, according to a report cited by NDTV. The discussion centers on potential changes to India’s Test squad.
NDTV reports that two options are under consideration: Sarfaraz Khan and Shaik Rasheed. The source indicates the BCCI has shortlisted these players, suggesting they could be called up depending on final selection and team requirements. The reports do not provide further details on the reason for Sudharsan’s unavailability, nor do they confirm which player is ultimately chosen. The framing across the outlet is focused on the pre-series setback and the shortlist of possible replacements, rather than on specific performance or selection criteria.
Overall, the available coverage agrees on the key point that the BCCI is weighing Sarfaraz Khan and Shaik Rasheed as potential replacements for Sai Sudharsan ahead of the Sri Lanka Tests.
