ESPNcricinfo has now learned that Washington is unlikely to head back to the UK for the final rounds of the County Championship.
In his first TNPL season with Nellai Royal Kings, Ajitesh – having moved from Bengaluru – slotted in as a finisher and sent 14 of the 53 balls he faced over the boundary. However, there was no room for Aparajith’s twin brother B Indrajith, who had played for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2022, and M Mohammed, who was a net bowler with Punjab Kings during the same season.
Squad: B Aparajith (capt), Washington Sundar (vice-capt), B Sai Sudharsan, T Natarajan, M Shahrukh Khan, R Sai Kishore, R Sanjay Yadav, Sandeep Warrier, M Siddharth, Varun Chakravarthy, J Suresh Kumar, C Hari Nishaanth, N Jagadeesan, R Silambarasan, M Ashwin, G Ajitesh
