Injured Washington Sundar Likely to Miss Sri Lanka Test Series

Injured Washington Sundar Likely to Miss Sri Lanka Test Series

Cricket is a sport where players run, bowl, and throw a lot, so sometimes they get hurt.

A player named Washington Sundar plays all-rounder for India, meaning he can both bat and bowl.

He hurt his leg while playing against England in July, and doctors call this a hamstring injury.

Washington was only picked for the second Test because the team was unsure if he would be fit in time.

Now a report says his chances of going to Sri Lanka are very small.

The team doctors are worried that if he plays too soon, he might get hurt again.

Some other Indian players, like Jasprit Bumrah and Sai Sudharsan, are also injured and cannot play.

The doctors will do a thorough check next week to see if Washington is getting better.
