Big News: Sai Sudharsan ruled out of Sri Lanka Test series due to injury

In a series of breaking updates, It has been reported that Sai Sudharsan has been ruled out of the upcoming two-match Test series against Sri Lanka, starting from August 15. The star left-handed batter endured a toe injury right after the one-off Test match against Afghanistan earlier this month, since then he has been spending time at BCCI's Centre of Excellence.

Unfortunate update for Team India

He did not travel with the rest of the side, as it was reported that he might join the team later just before the first Test after reaching full fitness. However, he could not get fit in time.

Sports Tak has learnt that Sai Sudharsan has been ruled out of the upcoming red-ball assignment as he continues his recovery. Although the left-handed batter has shown positive improvement, doctors have advised him to allow more time for biological healing before coming back to action.

Curious case of Sai Sudharasan

His recovery programme, including strength and conditioning work and cricket-related workloads, will be increased slowly with time under close monitoring. The careful approach is being taken to avoid the possibility of any relapse, with his long-term fitness and performance being given priority. At this point, Sudharsan's recovery has not reached the required benchmarks for him to make a safe return to red-ball cricket.
