Sai Sudharsan has been ruled out of India’s upcoming two-Test series against Sri Lanka due to a big toe injury sustained during the India A tour. Despite significant recovery, doctors have advised more time for healing. Devdutt Padikkal is set to replace him at No. 3 after scoring a century in the practice game.
New Delhi: Talented top order batter B Sai Sudharsan was on Saturday ruled out of the two-Test series against Sri Lanka after failing to recover from a big toe injury sustained during the India A tour of the island nation last month.
Sudharsan, who scored two tons in two 'A' Test matches, was hit during the second game against Sri Lanka 'A' and since then has been in rehabilitation at the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru.
"Sai Sudharsan has been ruled out of the upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka. Doctors have advised more time for biological healing. Significant improvement, but not yet sufficient for a safe return to Test cricket," according to the update from the Sports Science team which is monitoring the rehabilitation of the player.
The Sports Science team has informed the management and national selection committee.
