The particular competition Sundar will miss is the T20I series. This set of encounters will feature the team facing off against the Black Caps, a respected rival. His exclusion marks a crucial change ahead of these pivotal cricketing engagements.

 

Injury Forces Absence

 

The precise cause for Sundar’s withdrawal from the playing squad is a side strain. This specific physical ailment prevents him from taking part in the demanding T20I series schedule, mandating a period of recovery to ensure his complete recuperation from the issue.

 

Consequently, Sundar will be entirely absent from all scheduled games within this T20I series. His confirmed inability to join the team due to the side strain means he will not feature in any of the matches against the Black Caps, impacting team strategies.

 

Series Dynamics Shift

 

The T20I series against the Black Caps represents a key international commitment. Sundar’s confirmed unavailability for these contests will necessitate adjustments in the team lineup. The squad prepares to compete despite this significant player change.

 

This official announcement solidifies Sundar's non-participation in the entire T20I series. The immediate focus shifts to ensuring his recovery from the side strain. His return to full fitness is now the primary concern for the player and management.
