In news of a huge relief for the Indian team, Washington Sundar has reunited with the squad as they continue to compete in the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026. Sundar has joined the 15-member squad in New Delhi ahead of the Group A encounter against Namibia on Thursday, February 12 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Sundar did not waste a lot of time since coming from the Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru to return to the zone. He, along with other members of the squad, had a couple of hours of intense net sessions on Tuesday evening. Sundar expressed his delight at being back in the dressing room.

He feels that the atmosphere around the team is amazing after their win in the tournament opener against the USA.

"It's always nice to be over here with the boys and training. It was quite an intense session, and we ticked all the boxes. We did a very good fielding session, and obviously I got to bowl a lot. And obviously batted as well. So it's really nice to be over here," the all-rounder was heard saying in a video on BCCI.tv.

"The atmosphere is amazing. The last three weeks were really good in terms of how I prepared and how much work I've put in myself to sort of come here and to be able to be really ready for the tournament.

So just really looking forward to the second game," the Tamil Nadu cricketer said further.
