Ahead of their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup match against Namibia, India’s assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate mentioned that Washington Sundar and Jasprit Bumrah are scheduled to train. Abhishek Sharma remains sidelined due to a stomach issue. India, coming off a victory against the USA, will face Namibia at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, with Suryakumar Yadav’s impressive performance aiding their win.
Ten Doeschate confirmed that Washington Sundar rejoined the team after a month-long absence, recovering from a side strain injury. Bumrah, who missed the previous game due to viral fever, is set to resume bowling after a ten-day break. The team hopes both players will be fit for the upcoming match.
While praising Mohammed Siraj’s impactful performance in Bumrah’s absence, Ten Doeschate acknowledged that Siraj might make way for Bumrah if the latter is fit to play. He emphasized the importance of having a strong squad, with players like Siraj ready to contribute when needed. Ten Doeschate expressed confidence in Siraj’s potential role in the World Cup, especially if the team opts for a three-seamer strategy.
