Sai Sudharsan has been ruled out of India’s upcoming two-Test series against Sri Lanka due to a toe injury.
The left-handed batter suffered a toe stress fracture and was advised additional recovery time by the medical team.
Sudharsan’s absence is a setback for India’s top order ahead of the crucial World Test Championship series.
Mumbai batter Sarfaraz Khan has been named as Sudharsan’s replacement in India’s Test squad for Sri Lanka.
With Sudharsan unavailable, the competition for a top-order spot intensifies ahead of the Sri Lanka Tests.
