India's all-rounder Washington Sundar has been ruled out of the upcoming T20I series against West Indies due to an injury. The 22-year-old, who recently returned to the side after a layoff due to fitness concerns, has notably been ruled out due to Grade 1 hamstring injury. Notably, he is likely to spend three weeks at the National Cricket Academy.

BCCI has named Kuldeep Yadav as Sundar's replacement. Notably, Deepak Hooda and Ruturaj Gaikwad had already been added to the squad after KL Rahul and Axar Patel were also ruled out of the upcoming 3-match series.
