Washington Sundar Resumes Batting at BCCI CoE; T20 World Cup Fate Uncertain
- •Washington Sundar, part of India's T20 World Cup 2026 squad, has started batting at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence (CoE) after injuring himself in an ODI against New Zealand.
- •The spin-bowling all-rounder batted for approximately 30 minutes, despite lingering tenderness around his rib area.
- •Sundar is unlikely to be fit for India's T20 World Cup opener against the USA in Mumbai on February 7.
- •Captain Suryakumar Yadav and coach Gautam Gambhir are keen to retain an off-spinner like Sundar for matchups against left-handed batters.
- •A final decision on Sundar's T20 World Cup participation will be made closer to the India vs Pakistan match, with Ravi Bishnoi currently replacing him in the New Zealand T20I series.
Why It Matters: Washington Sundar begins rehabilitation batting at BCCI CoE, but his T20 World Cup 2026 participation remains uncertain.
