Washington Sundar ruled out of 1st Test; Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harshit Rana unlikely for entire Sri Lanka tour

New Delhi: Spin bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar is unavailable for the first Test against Sri Lanka starting August 15 while injured all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy and fast bowler Harshit Rana are unlikely to be a part of the Indian squad for the two-Test tour.

India will tour Sri Lanka for a two-Test series next month with the first Test to be played from August 15-19 at Galle, followed by the second at Colombo (SSC) from August 23-27.

According to a BCCI source, Washington's availability for the second Test is subject to fitness after the all-rounder had suffered an injury to his leg during India's white-ball tour of England earlier this month.

Top order batter B Sai Sudharsan's availability is also subject to fitness but the left-handed batter is said to be recovering well.
