Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar Cleared for T20I Series Against Afghanistan
Indian all-rounders Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar have cleared their fitness tests and are set to join the squad for the upcoming three-match T20I series against Afghanistan in New Delhi starting September 13. Reddy, recovering from a quadriceps injury, and Sundar, returning from a hamstring injury, passed match simulations at the BCCI Centre of Excellence. Their fitness boosts India's preparations ahead of the Asian Games 2026 and a one-off T20I against Japan. Jasprit Bumrah and Harshit Rana remain doubtful due to injuries.
