Rahul Dravid Corona positive, shock to India before Asia Cup, team to leave today

Team India has suffered a major setback before the Asia Cup. The head coach of the Indian team, Rahul Dravid, has become Corona positive, there is still a doubt whether he will be able to go to the Asia Cup or not. Team India has to leave for UAE today. The Asia Cup is going to start from this Saturday i.e. 27th August and the match to India is on 28th.

Team India’s head coach Rahul Dravid was also on a break after the recently concluded series against West Indies. The team led by KL Rahul, who had reached Zimbabwe to play the ODI series, was accompanied by National Cricket Academy (NCA) director VVS Laxman as coach. KL Rahul and VVVS Laxman made a clean sweep against Zimbabwe.

The Asia Cup is to start from August 27 in the UAE. On August 28, India has to play its first match which will be against Pakistan. According to Indian time, this match is to be held at 7.30 in the evening.

Dravid will not be seen in the Asia Cup?

The difficult thing for Team India is that Rahul Dravid has now become Corona positive and in such a situation, it can be very difficult for him to be present with Team India in the Asia Cup. Because unless he is negative and is not fit after that, he will not be able to join the team. In such a situation, will VVS Laxman travel with the team instead of Rahul Dravid in the Asia Cup, that is the big question.

Indian Squad for Asia Cup: Rohit Sharma (Captain), KL Rahul (Vice-Captain), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (WK), Deepak Hooda, Dinesh Karthik (WK), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, R. Ashwin, Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravi Bishnoi, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan.

Standby: Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, Deepak Chahar
