India may rotate their XI against Namibia as they manage workloads and bring in players pushing for fitness and form ahead of tougher T20 World Cup matches.
Sundar was sidelined earlier due to a side strain, but has now recovered and is set to link up with the squad in Delhi ahead of the Namibia clash, giving India more spin and batting depth.
Jasprit Bumrah didn’t feature against the USA opener because he was unwell with a fever and India chose not to rush him back; if he regains full fitness he’s expected to play versus Namibia.
Kuldeep missed India’s opening game but could be recalled for spin balance, especially on expected slower tracks that favour his wrist-spin skills. His inclusion helps India vary their bowling attack.
India’s management is balancing rest and match practice — resting some stars in earlier games and allowing key players to return when fully ready for match time.
The Namibia match gives India a chance to rotate, keep players fresh, and test bench strength without disrupting momentum in the tournament.
