India vs Sri Lanka Final: Shock Team India ahead of Asia Cup Final
India vs Sri Lanka Final: India have called up Washington Sundar as cover for the injured Akshar Patel in the Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka on Sunday. Akshar was injured in Friday’s Super Four final against Bangladesh, which India lost by six runs. Although the severity of his injuries is not known, bowling all-rounder Washington, who was part of India’s Asian Games team, has been called in as a precautionary measure.

A Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) source said on condition of anonymity, “Akshar has suffered multiple injuries, his little finger and the ball hitting his hand due to the throw, he also has a hamstring injury.” That’s why Washington has been called. A major concern for the Indian team management will be his hamstring injury just three weeks before the World Cup.
Washington, who bowls off spin, played his last ODI for India at home against New Zealand in January this year.
