Washington Sundar has been ruled out of India’s third ODI against England at Lord’s after suffering a hamstring injury during the second match in Cardiff. The all-rounder will need weeks of rest and rehabilitation, leaving India without a like-for-like replacement.
New Delhi, July 17: India’s off-spin bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar has been ruled out of the third and final deciding ODI against England at Lord's on Sunday after sustaining a hamstring injury.
Washington, 26, picked up the injury while completing a run in the 33rd over during India's six-wicket defeat in the second ODI at Cardiff on Thursday. After a brief check from physio Kamlesh Jain, who then heavily strapped his right thigh, Washington resumed batting, but his stay ended on the very next delivery after he edged a short ball from pacer Saqib Mahmood to wicketkeeper Jos Buttler and fell for two.
Subsequently, Washington did not take the field during England's chase, with Arshdeep Singh coming on as the substitute fielder. The three-match series is currently tied at 1-1, with the decider to be played at the iconic Lord’s.
