All-rounder Washington Sundar is yet to regain full fitness and the team management is undecided on whether to retain him in the squad for the T20 World Cup, which begins on Saturday. The team management is awaiting a report from the COE and will then take a call. ADVERTISEMENTIt is understood that the team management is willing to include him in the side for the group stage and, if needed, he could be fielded from the Super Eight stage. The team management, however, heaved a sigh of relief with Tilak Varma ticking all the boxes on his return to competitive cricket after a lower abdominal surgery. The team management will also have to decide on the Ishan Kishan-versus-Sanju Samson debate once Tilak returns to the playing XI.
