Washington Sundar's participation in the T20 World Cup remains uncertain due to a rib injury sustained during a recent ODI. He has been included in the 15-man squad, but his fitness is a significant concern with the tournament's commencement drawing near.
Sundar is expected to undergo a crucial fitness assessment on February 4, 2026, at the BCCI Centre of Excellence. Recent reports indicate positive progress in his recovery, with successful batting sessions completed and spot bowling performed on February 2. His ability to withstand bowling strain will be evaluated in another session tomorrow.
Management is awaiting official medical reports before making any decisions on a replacement. If Sundar is ruled out, potential replacements include Ravi Bishnoi or Shreyas Iyer. India already has three spinners in their squad: Varun Chakaravarthy, Axar Patel, and Kuldeep Yadav.
