NEW DELHI: The men’s senior selection committee, chaired by Ajit Agarkaris likely to choose the squad for the next two-Test tour of Sri Lanka, starting August 15 in Galle. Informal discussions have taken place on the sidelines of the white ball tour in England, and a formal meeting will soon be held for the crucial series. It is learned that the selectors are waiting for clarity on Washington Sundar, who got injured during the three ODI series. The all-rounder has been forced to miss the series decider at Lord’s and is likely to check with the BCCI Center of Excellence (CoE) for the necessary clearance.The official word from the Indian cricket board mentioned an injury to the right hamstring. TimesofIndia.com learned that while the pain subsided when he arrived in London, he was asked to undergo scans, which were later shared with specialists for an opinion. It is also understood that even if it is only a knock or a Grade 1 injury, the 26-year-old could take at least two weeks to regain full fitness. As the Indian team is likely to leave for Sri Lanka on August 4 to begin preparations, it remains to be seen how the selectors will handle the Washington situation. The Shubman Gill-led team will also feature in a four-day warm-up match before the Galle Test.The squad from the one-off Test against Afghanistan last month is set to change, as Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja are expected to return. It remains to be seen if Harsh Dubey retains his place if Washington is unable to regain fitness, or if the selectors opt for an off-spinner like Saransh Jain to maintain variety in the spin-attack. Manav Suthar and Kuldeep Yadav are likely to retain their positions, while the pace attack is expected to feature Mohammed Siraj, Gurnoor Brar and Prasidh Krishna. Jadeja was not selected for the squad against Afghanistan after the IPL, but Agarkar maintained that the experienced all-rounder remains the “No. 1 spinner in the format”. As for the batting, the usual names continue, and a decision is likely to be taken on the two all-rounders Nitish Kumar Reddy and Sundar. Will the selectors opt for the seam bowling all-rounder currently undergoing rehabilitation at the CdE, or will they look towards a specialist? These couple of calls will be interesting in what promises to be an otherwise expected team.India have struggled in Tests under coach Gautam Gambhir, after being whitewashed by New Zealand and South Africa at home. They need a strong series in Sri Lanka to maintain their chances of qualifying for the finals of the World Test Championship. After the Sri Lanka tour, India will play New Zealand in New Zealand before hosting Australia for five Tests at home.
