NEW DELHI: India all-rounder Washington Sundar is set to join the India squad ahead of the Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka on Sunday
The 23-year-old Sundar has been picked as a replacement for Axar Patel, who experienced niggles during the Super Four encounter against
Bangladesh, a match that India narrowly lost by six runs.It raises the likelihood of Axar missing out on the final, which will be played at
the R.Premadasa Stadium in Colombo
Sundar, who is part of India squad for the upcoming Asian Games, is currently attending a camp in Bengaluru
He last played an ODI against New Zealand at home in January this year.Axar scored a valiant 42 off 34 against Bangladesh in the
inconsequential 'Super 4' match against Bangladesh, but it didn't prove enough
He is an important all-rounder for India going into the World Cup, and the team management may not want to take any chances with his injury.
