Washington Sundar leaves field after injuring his shoulder

English county club Lancashire have confirmed that Indian all-rounder Washington Sundar suffered a shoulder injury during their One-Day Cup clash against Worcestershire on Wednesday, August 10. There is no official update on the extent of his injury yet but Lancashire said that that the player left the field after receiving treatment on his left shoulder following a heavy landing during a fielding.

The 22-year-old bowling all-rounder is part of India’s upcoming three-match ODI tour to Zimbabwe, starting August 18. Earlier in the year, Sundar injured his bowling hand during the 2022 Indian Premier League season while playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad and missed a considerable amount of matches.

He joined Lancashire to regain his match fitness last month and has been in good form for the English county side so far. He has played two County Championship matches where he scored 52 runs and scalped eight wickets. He took three wickets in the first two domestic 50-over matches but is likely to miss the remaining fixtures due to his recent injury.

The youngster has played four Tests and 35 white-ball international matches for the Indian team so far. He boasts an average of 66.25 in Test matches and has taken 25 wickets in 31 T20I matches at an impressive economy rate of 7.24. With many talented all-round options competing for a place in the national team, he has struggled to maintain his place of late.
