Conflict alert: Gautam Gambhir, VVS Laxman clash over Washington Sundar’s selection

Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir and Center of Excellence head VVS Laxman have reportedly clashed over the selection of all-rounder Washington Sundar. With the Asian Games in Japan and the West Indies tour of India taking place simultaneously, selectors must choose two separate squads. Gambhir is set to coach the team against the West Indies, while Laxman will manage the squad for the Asian Games.

According to reports, both coaches want Sundar in their respective squads to counter opposing left-handed batters. Sundar is reportedly designated for the Asian Games squad, meaning he is expected to miss the West Indies ODI matches before potentially returning for the T20I series.
