Fast bowler Sandeep Warrier has returned to the squad led by captain Sai Kishor, while pacer Gurjapaneet Singh will remain out of the squad due to injury. Tamil Nadu currently tops Group D. Star all-rounder Washington Sundar has not been included in this squad. Sundar was part of the Indian Test team in the home Test series against New Zealand and the Border-Gavaskar series against Australia.
Why didn’t Sundar get a place in the team?
He has also been included in the squad for the five-match T20 series against England starting on January 22, a day before the start of the second leg of the Ranji Trophy. Sundar is also expected to be picked in the squad for the ODIs and ICC Champions Trophy. Considering his busy schedule, the team has decided to rest him.
