After the conclusion of the ongoing Test series, the men in blue will host the islanders for a 3-match ODI series, and this will be followed by a 3-match T20I series. The squad for the ODIs was recently announced by the Indian board.

1. Washington Sundar

Young Tamil Nadu all-rounder Washington Sundar has been a revelation in the domestic circuit. He played as a frontline spinner for the Rising Pune Supergiant in the IPL this year. He was immaculately economical. Following a successful campaign in the big league, he came up with stellar show in Duleep Trophy.

His all-round heroics in the tournament saw his team win the title. Also, in the ongoing Ranji Trophy season, he has been consistently performing for Tamil Nadu. Moreover, he was in the fray for the Australia T20I series a month ago but had missed the bus after failing the yo-yo test. Now, he has cleared the test and is set for the big stage.
