Washington Sundar has had a turbulent last eight months with injury and illness, both of which have limited the Indian cricketer's opportunities on the international stage.
The 22-year-old all-rounder suffered another set-back on Monday when a hamstring injury ruled him out of the T20 series against the West Indies.
The Tamil Nadu player's last appearance in the T20I format came against England in March, 2021. It remains to be seen if he will be available for the three-match series against Sri Lanka later this month.
