Washington Sundar added to India squad for remaining two Tests against New Zealand
Bengaluru, Oct 20: All-rounder Washington Sundar was on Sunday added to the India squad for the remaining two Tests against New Zealand.
The selectors included Washington in the squad soon after India lost the series opener to New Zealand by eight wickets here.
The 25-year-old's inclusion in the squad comes after his 152 for Tamil Nadu in the ongoing Ranji Trophy match against Delhi.

"Mr Washington Sundar will link-up with the squad in Pune ahead of the second Test," said the BCCI in a statement.
He has played four Tests, 22 ODIs and 52 T20 Internationals.
The second Test begins in Pune from October 24.

ED team attacked in Delhi during raids in cyber crime case
New Delhi (PTI): An Enforcement Directorate team undertaking searches in a cyber fraud linked money laundering case was allegedly attacked here on Thursday, officials said.
The agency has registered a police FIR about the incident that took place at a farmhouse that was raided by ED officials in the Bijwasan area of the national capital that falls under the Kapashera police station in southwest Delhi.
An Enforcement Officer (EO) suffered minor injuries during the attack. He is continuing with the searches after he was given first aid, officials said.
The probe pertains to a case against the PYYPL app.
The alleged accused in the case, including Ashok Sharma and his brother, allegedly attacked the ED team. The situation is under control and searches are going on, the sources said.
The search operations, according to sources, has been launched after the ED got inputs from the I4C and the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) about cyber crimes like phishing, QR code cheating, part time job fraud leading to fraud with many people.
It was found that money earned through this cyber fraud was being layered through as many as 15,000 'mule' accounts and withdrawn using debit and credit cards.
Using these cards, it was found, money was remitted to top up virtual accounts on UAE-based Pyypl payment aggregator and subsequently funds were used from Pyypl to buy crypto currency.
The network was being run by some Chartered Accountants (CAs), the sources claimed.
