Washington Sundar Ruled Out of T20I Series Against New Zealand
India's cricket team has suffered a setback ahead of the T20I series against New Zealand. All-rounder Washington Sundar will miss the entire series due to an injury. The Board of Control for Cricket in India confirmed this development today.
Bishnoi and Iyer Step In as Replacements
To fill the void left by Sundar, the selectors have added two players to the squad. Leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi and all-rounder Venkatesh Iyer have been called up. Both players bring fresh energy and skills to the team.
Bishnoi is known for his wicket-taking abilities in the shorter formats. Iyer offers batting depth and handy medium-pace bowling. Their inclusion aims to strengthen India's options for the series.
Impact on Team Strategy
Sundar's absence is a significant blow for India. He provides balance with his off-spin bowling and lower-order batting. The team management must now rethink their combination for the matches.
The series against New Zealand is crucial for India's preparations. It offers a chance to test new players before major tournaments. Fans will watch how Bishnoi and Iyer perform under pressure.
India's squad looks competitive despite this change. The team hopes to maintain momentum in the T20 format. The series promises exciting cricket action for supporters.
