India vs West Indies: Washington Sundar Ruled Out Of Upcoming T20I Series, Kuldeep Yadav Confirmed As Replacement

Washington Sundar has been ruled out of the upcoming India vs West Indies T20I series due to a left hamstring muscle strain. The all-rounder suffered the injury during the third ODI vs West Indies in Ahmedabad. Also, the All-India Selection Committee has named Kuldeep Yadav as his replacement. The upcoming T20I series is scheduled to take place at Eden Gardens in Kolkata and is set to start on Wednesday.

Sundar marked his return to competitive cricket in the Vijay Hazare Trophy after a lengthy layoff due to a hand injury suffered during the England tour.
