The assertion stated, “KL Rahul is progressing really well but will not be available for India’s first two matches – against Pakistan and Nepal – of the #AsiaCup2023: Head Coach Rahul Dravid”
Rahul, who nonetheless carries a niggle, made the 17-member squad, led by Rohit Sharma, for the six-nation Asia Cup in Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
Addressing a press convention final week, chief selector Ajit Agarkar had stated, “Rahul, not his original injury but there’s a niggle. We’ll get a report from the physio at some stage but we all expect him (Rahul) to be fit. If not at the start, by the second or third game, but he’s on track.”
Rahul has not performed any aggressive cricket since he was injured throughout this 12 months’s Indian Premier League.
India start their Asia Cup marketing campaign in opposition to arch-rivals Pakistan in Pallekele on September 2 earlier than taking over minnows Nepal of their second outing.
