The selectors should look at their performance, “the cricketer’s father M Sundar said in a special conversation with Timesopindia.com.

Should Washington Sundar be given more consistent opportunities to play for the national team?
“My son was very economical despite his first foreign tour. He was dropped for 11 straight matches by RCB in the next edition of IPL, despite its quality performance. Can you imagine his mindset? Washington scored 14-balls 40 in his first match for SRH during IPL 2022 season. He was sent to the next match in his first match.”“Even his current team (GT) does not give him an opportunity regularly. He performed his caliber at the IPL 2025 Eliminator against Mumbai Indians (MI), scoring 48 off 24 balls.
