Find Out"Washington, 22, could be available for up to three County Championship games, from July, and the entire 50-overs Royal London Cup. He could become the second Indian to feature in English county cricket this season after Cheteshwar Pujara, who racked up 720 runs in eight innings at a stunning average of 120 for Sussex in division two."
Sundar is currently recovering from a hand injury at NCA in Bengaluru. Last year in July, during a three-day tour game against a County Select XI in Chester-le-Street, Sundar suffered a finger injury, which forced him being ruled out of the tour, as well as the second half of the IPL 2021. Since then, he is having injury concerns multiple times.
Even in IPL 2022, Sundar could only play nine matches for Sunrisers Hyderabad. He hurt his webbing twice which forced him to drop in crucial fixtures.
