SA vs IND: Washington Sundar tests positive for Covid-19 ahead of the ODI series against South Africa
SA vs IND: Washington Sundar, India’s all-rounder, has tested positive for COVID-19. His availability for the ODI series against South Africa in jeopardy.
Sundar is believed to be in Mumbai, where the team is expected to depart for South Africa, as repoted by Cricbuzz.
Sundar has been out for about a year, and his last appearance for India was in March 2021.
He was recently a member of Tamil Nadu’s Vijay Hazare Trophy squad. He performed admirably in the competition, earning him a call-up for the ODI series against South Africa.
