Sai Sudharsan, the Indian left-hander who skipped the team's flight to Sri Lanka on Tuesday, is set to join his teammates in Colombo by this weekend. Sudharsan, 24, is recovering from a minor toe injury and is on track to regain full fitness. He is expected to be part of the squad well before the first Test match against Sri Lanka, which commences on August 15.
Although Sudharsan will miss the three-day warm-up match that began on Friday, his return will be timely as the team heads to Galle for the opening Test on August 9. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) also confirmed the presence of four net bowlers in the Indian squad for the upcoming series: Harsh Dubey, Shivang Kumar, Tanush Kotian, and Vipraj Nigam.
This development comes after the Indian team held its first training session in Sri Lanka on Wednesday, a day after their arrival.
