Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra stated that Devdutt Padikkal's superb form has almost certainly ensured that Sai Sudharsan won't get the No. 3 spot back in India's Test playing XI.

Legendary opener Sunil Gavaskar has raised concern over the rising injuries in Indian cricket.

Roped into the playing XI after Sai Sudharsan was ruled out of the series due to a foot injury, Devdutt Padikkal anchored India's innings on the opening day of the Galle Test against Sri Lanka.

India skipper Shubman Gill said the team management is keeping track of players who have been recuperating from injuries at the BCCI Centre of Excellence.

Former India cricketer S Badrinath has attributed injury issues to team management decisions, not the BCCI Centre of Excellence.

At a time when the Indian cricket team is already dealing with injury concerns, a report has provided another piece of bad news for the side.

Mumbai batter Sarfaraz Khan on Sunday replaced the injured Sai Sudharsan in Team India's squad for the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka, starting on August 15.

BCCI COE head VVS Laxman addressed concerns over injuries, stating player rehabilitation is objective and data-driven.

The final decision on the squad is expected to be taken by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

The Indian team is currently missing so many players due to injury that almost an entire playing XI could be formed from them
