‘Aur wc se pahle fir injured ho jaye’ – Fans react as Rahul Dravid confirms few Indian players returning from injury for the Asia Cup

The Men in Blue are all gearing up for the upcoming Asia Cup, which commences on August 30 in Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Notably, the Rohit Sharma side will be playing all of their matches in Sri Lanka as the Indian Cricket Board refused to travel to Pakistan due to political tension between these two countries.

In addition, with just a few days left for the major tournament, the Rohit Sharma-led side is still struggling to figure out middle-order issues. Moreover, there has been no official announcement on India batters KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer’s return to the team.

Notably, the LSG skipper sustained a leg injury during the IPL match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, whereas Iyer sustained an injury during the fourth Test match of the Border Gavaskar Trophy earlier this year, owing to which both batters missed the IPL, the World Test Championship Final, the recently concluded West Indies campaign, as well as the upcoming Ireland tour.

We a have a few guys coming back from injuries in the Asia Cup: Rahul Dravid

Meanwhile, speaking on the same subject, India head coach Rahul Dravid dropped a major hint on India star batters KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer’s comeback during the Asia Cup. In addition, the former India skipper said that the Men in Blue will definitely have the opportunity to play with those players who were injured. Moreover, the 50-year-old cricketer reveals that the Rohit Sharma side is having a one-week camp at the NCA in Bengaluru starting August 23.

“We have a few guys coming back from injuries in any case. We are going to have to give them opportunities to play (in Asia Cup). I haven’t thought about Asia Cup at this stage. We have a one-week camp in Bengaluru from August 23. We’ll be assembling there as a one-day team. We will take it as it comes,” Rahul Dravid said during the press conference.
