Washington Sundar has been declared fit one week ahead of the India National Cricket Team's three-match Test series against Afghanistan in Delhi. On September 7, Sports Tak reported on the current fitness status of Sundar and the pace-bowling all-rounders Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy.

According to the media report, while the spin-bowling all-rounder, Washington Sundar, has passed the Test, Rana and Reddy will have to wait longer to get clearance from BCCI's medical team. Ace pacer Jasprit Bumrah is also yet to receive clearance to play the series against Afghanistan.

Latest fitness updates of Washington Sundar, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Jasprit Bumrah

If the claims made by the media house are to be believed, then Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy are scheduled to go under match simulations on September 7, and Bumrah will have to prove his fitness through the same on September 9. Final fitness reports of these four players are officially expected to arrive on the evening of September 9.

Washington Sundar, Jasprit Bumrah, Harshit Rana, and Nitish Kumar Reddy, all of them were named for the India vs Afghanistan T20I series, subject to their fitness. This means they will be only eligable to play, if they could prove their fitness. As of now, Washington Sundar is likely to play in the series, and rest of the three cricketers continue to remain in doubt.
