Meanwhile, Former Indian cricketer Saba Karim selected Sundar in his T20 World Cup team. He gave the reason that pitches in UAE will support off-spinners and Sundar also has got good all-round skills. Saba stated:
“The team that was chosen by the selectors for the series against England, there were around 17 players there, I have started choosing my team from there. The players who performed well there and have not got an opportunity on the Sri Lanka tour because they were in England, you don’t have any excuse to keep them out.”
“There should be consistency in selection. Because of that, I have kept Washington Sundar in my team. I feel that with the matches happening in the UAE, you will need an off-spinner there and he is kind of an all-rounder,” he added.
