Ahead of the third ODI match of the series, the Indian team faced a major setback as their star player and one of the finest all-rounders of all time, who is known for his impressive performance for the Men in Blue, Washington Sundar, is ruled out of the ODI series against England.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirms his unavailability in a official statement, ‘Washington Sundar will undergo scans and consult a specialist for further treatment of his injury.’
Washington Sundar suffered a hamstring injury. The injury was so serious as it led him out of the ODI series. Well, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) named his replacement for the ODI series for the upcoming third clash. The player who will replace him is star Indian player and left-arm spinner, Harsh Dubey, who might fulfil his place with wicket-taking ability.
Ahead of this opportunity, Harsh Dubey already showed his magic for the Indian team against Afghanistan. Harsh Dubey made his debut against Afghanistan earlier this year and impressed in his debut series. He took four wickets in two matches. Dubey also performed well for Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2026, taking eight wickets.
