Indian all-rounder Washington Sundar has provided an update on his fitness, assuring fans after a period of recovery following an injury sustained during a match against New Zealand. He will be arriving in Delhi to join the Indian squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup, where India will play its group match against Namibia on February 12. The Team Management has exercised caution regarding his return, and the decision seems to have paid off as Sundar’s recovery is confirmed to be on the right track.

Sundar last participated in the one-day international series against New Zealand, during which he suffered an injury while bowling in the first match held in Vadodara on January 11. This injury not only sidelined him from the remainder of the ODI series but also ruled him out of the subsequent five-match T20 series. Concerns had mounted over his fitness and whether he would be able to feature in the upcoming T20 World Cup.

The timely update from Sundar and the deliberate approach taken by the team management highlight the importance of athlete welfare and careful management of injuries, especially in the lead-up to major tournaments like the World Cup. Fans can now look forward to Sundar’s return as he gears up to contribute to India’s campaign.
