Washington Sundar ruled out of ODI series against NZ

India all-rounder Washington Sundar is suffering from a rib injury, following which he has been ruled out of the ODI series against New Zealand.   The 26-year-old, who bowled five overs for 27 runs, walked off midway through the New Zealand innings and did not return to the field on Sunday. Despite the discomfort, he later came out to bat at No. 8 as India picked a four-wicket win.   "Washington has been ruled out due to the onset of discomfort in his left lower rib area," a BCCI official informed.   Besides Sundar, last week, wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant was ruled out of the ongoing series after suffering a side strain, while Tilak Varma is unavailable for the first three T20Is against New Zealand due to a groin injury that required surgery.   India ODI captain Shubman Gill had given an update on Washington following India's win on Sunday.   "Washington Sundar has a side strain and will go for a scan after the match," Gill said at the post-match presentation.   Also Read: Pant sidelined, Jurel called up for New Zealand series
