Washington Sundar's father, M. Sundar, expressed his displeasure about team selection. Despite repeated match-turning performances, the team management of India ignored the all-rounder on multiple occasions, which annoyed M. Sundar very much. Right after the Old Trafford match, where the spin bowling all-rounder scored a magnificent century to save the team from danger. 

In the 4th Test of the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar trophy, the 25-year-old played an unbeaten 10-run innings and did his job successfully. Sundar came to bat at the number 5 position, in place of the injured Rishabh Pant, and made the most of it. M Sundar is totally impressed by his son's performance. Taking a step further, he claimed that despite consistent performances, the selectors avoided him in the past. 

"Washington has been doing very well consistently. However, people tend to avoid and forget his performances. Other players get regular chances; only my son doesn't get them. Washington should consistently bat at number five like he did in the second innings of the fourth Test and get five to ten straight chances. My son was surprisingly not picked for the first test against England. The selectors should watch his performances," M. Sundar, father of Washington Sundar, said this after the 4th test of the 5-match series against England.

"Washington scored an unbeaten 85 on a rank turner in Chennai against England back in 2021 and 96* against the same opposition in Ahmedabad during the same year. He would have been dropped even if those two knocks had ended up in centuries. Has this kind of approach been maintained for any other Indian cricketer? He has become very strong after all this, and the result is the performance that people are witnessing now," he added. 

After making a Test debut back in 2021, the promising all-rounder got to play only 12 games and generated averages of 27.87 and 44.86 with ball and bat.
