India have already suffered a major setback ahead of the series after pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah was ruled out with a knee injury. Uncapped Jammu and Kashmir fast bowler Auqib Nabi has replaced him in the 15-member squad, while the team management continues to monitor Sudharsan's recovery.
Juglan shared the latest update on X (formerly known as Twitter), stating: "Sai Sudharsan won't travel with the team from Mumbai today. He has started batting but still not close to 100% fitness. Team India to reach Colombo by afternoon today."

The Indian medical staff will continue to monitor Sudharsan's recovery before deciding when he can join the squad. While reports suggest he has recovered well from a minor niggle, the BCCI has not confirmed his travel date or availability for the warm-up match.
Warm-Up Match Could Decide Sai Sudharsan's Chances
If Sai Sudharsan receives fitness clearance before the warm-up match, he could feature in the only practice game before the series begins. Missing that match would leave him with only training sessions in Galle to prepare for the opening Test.
India Face Important World Test Championship Challenge
India will begin the two-match Test series against Sri Lanka at the Galle International Stadium on August 15. The second Test will be played at the Sinhalese Sports Club in Colombo from August 23.
India are currently fifth in the 2025-27 World Test Championship standings with four wins, four defeats, and one draw. To stay in contention for a place in the WTC final at The Oval, Shubman Gill's side will likely need to win seven of their remaining nine Tests.
