It is only a matter of time before Washington Sundar is handed a national cap

Washington Sundar's stocks have been constantly on the rise in the past couple of years and he did his reputation no harm in IPL 2017 when he was picked in Pune Supergiant's squad as a replacement for Ravichandran Ashwin.

He put in a spectacular performance for the Board President's XI in the warm-up match against Australia, ending with 2/23 from eight overs, figures made all the more impressive considering that the Aussies ended up scoring 347.

Washington spun webs around the batsmen, dismissing arguably Australia's two biggest threats - Glenn Maxwell and Steve Smith. The Aussies are known to struggle against spin and this was evident from their performance in the first ODI where they failed to pick Chahal and Kuldeep's variations. Adding another spinner into the line-up will only add to those problems.

Washington can also contribute a few handy runs with the bat in hand and the 17-year-old is well on his way to becoming India's next big thing.
