India's ODI Squad Hit by Injury: Sundar Out, Badoni Called Up
12 Jan
Summary
- Washington Sundar ruled out of remaining ODIs due to a rib injury.
- Young batter Ayush Badoni earns his maiden call-up as replacement.
- Rishabh Pant also sidelined earlier with a side strain.

India's preparation for the ongoing ODI series against New Zealand has been hampered by an injury to all-rounder Washington Sundar. He has been sidelined for the remaining two matches after sustaining a left lower rib injury during the first ODI.
Sundar's absence opens the door for Ayush Badoni, a young batter who has been included in the national squad for the first time. Badoni's selection comes as a reward for his consistent performances in domestic cricket.
This injury blow to Sundar adds to India's concerns, as wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant was also ruled out of the series earlier due to a side strain. Pant has been replaced by Dhruv Jurel in the playing XI.
