    What's the story

    Young all-rounder Washington Sundar has been added to India's squad for the 2023 Asia Cup final against Sri Lanka on September 17, reported Cricbuzz.

    As per the development, Sundar has been called up as a cover for all-rounder Axar Patel, who struggled with niggles in the recent Super Fours game against Bangladesh.

    He is likely to miss the final clash.

    Here are further details.

    Axar likely to miss Asia Cup final 

    Axar sustained a few blows during his 42-run knock against Bangladesh.

    The southpaw kept the chances of India's win alive.

    His efforts, however, went in vain as the Tigers won by six runs. Meanwhile, the extent of Axar's injury is not yet known.

    However, with the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 being days away, the management would not like to risk his fitness.

    Sundar, who is a part of India's Asian Games squad, is currently in Bengaluru.

    He will fly to Colombo to be a part of the final clash.

    He last played an ODI against New Zealand in January this year.

    The 23-year-old is not a part of India's provisional 15-member World Cup squad.
