He was initially selected for the T20 series against England earlier this year but had to miss out due to an unfortunate injury. Krunal Pandya replaced him in the subsequent series and went onto to debut for India against West Indies.
Washington Sundar may not get an opportunity in the upcoming series as India already have two world-class spinners in Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal in the squad. The absence of Hardik Pandya will force the team management to pick the all-rounder Krunal Pandya in the playing XI to maintain the balance of the team.
Unless one of the spinners performs dismally, Washington Sundar might not get a game in the series.
