Indian allrounder Washington Sundar’s participation in the second Test against Sri Lanka is uncertain, with team management treating his injury status as doubtful. Multiple reports say his chances of joining the team are “very slim,” while medical staff continue assessing his fitness.
The decision is linked to broader injury caution within the squad. Reports add that fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep also have uncertain timelines for return after their respective injuries. Because of these ongoing fitness questions, selectors may choose not to name a replacement if Sundar is ruled out, rather than making immediate changes.
Both outlets frame the situation as a careful, medical-led process and note that the assessment is not only for the immediate match but also in view of upcoming tours. The current focus remains on confirmation of players’ readiness before committing them to Test participation.
