IND vs. ZIM ODI series: The three-match ODI series between India and Zimbabwe will kick off on August 18. The Indian team has suffered a major setback ahead of the first game to be played on Thursday. Indian all-rounder Washington Sundar, who was included in this tour, has once again been seen battling injury. Now the news has also broken that Sundar is out for another full series. Let us tell you, this is the fourth time in the last year that he has been left out of an entire series after being selected on the team.
Other than this, IPL 2022 also saw Washington Sundar struggling due to finger injury etc. He was out for several games and his injury problem continued even after his return. At the same time, this versatile star of the Indian team has once again proved unlucky. A BCCI source told PTI on condition of anonymity that, ‘Washington Sundar has been ruled out of the Zimbabwe series. He injured his left shoulder while playing in a Royal London ODI Cup match between Lancashire and Worcestershire at Old Trafford. They will have to go through the rehabilitation process at the National Cricket Academy (NCA).
Let us tell you that Sundar last played an international match for India in February 2022. He was out of the squad for a long time in the last year due to injuries and issues related to COVID-19. In this regard, another officer said in his statement that, ‘You can feel bad for Washington Sundar. He is a talented player but luck is not on his side. They need luck. This new injury is very unfortunate as he had to play ODI for India within a week.
Fourth series in a year
The last year has been very disappointing for Washington Sundar. He was part of the India team squad on tour of England last year. He suffered a finger injury during a practice game with the county team, for which he was out of the team for several months. Sundar then made a comeback in the national league Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Now it was the turn of the South African tour that was in December-January. That’s also why Sundar was selected in the team, but because he tested positive for Corona before the tour, he again had to sit out the entire series.
After this, he returned again against the West Indies and played all three ODI series matches at home. But here too injury did not stop him and with a hamstring injury he was ruled out of the T20 series against Sri Lanka that followed. Injury was also a big problem for him at IPL 2022, but after a good performance at the Royal London One Day Cup, he was selected again in Team India for the Zimbabwe tour. But not even here the injury left him behind and now he has been out of this streak as much as possible.
