Washington Sundar: I want to keep improving

Washington has understood in the past two years that there would be roadblocks now and then, but he will have to create his own mechanism to counter the issues. He first missed the T20I World Cup in UAE and then COVID-19 played truant when he was about to board the flight to South Africa

Washington Sundar has had to endure a painful five months away from the game due to a finger injury, but the lanky off-spinner in his own admission, used the time off to get better as a cricketer as that was all he could control.

Washington missed out on the T20I World Cup, but R Ashwin’s underwhelming show in white-ball games and subsequent ouster brought him back in the mix as he made his international return with 3-30 against West Indies in the first ODI. “There were a lot of challenges, but I just wanted to do what I could do to improve myself as a cricketer,” Washington said.

“Yes, there will always be challenges, that’s something that I have realised especially in the last couple of years. But what matters is how I push myself, keep getting better at the aspects that I want to and keep improving myself. I’ve tried to focus on it,” he elaborated.
