New Delhi. Before the Asia Cup, a bad news has come out about the Indian team. Actually Team India’s head coach Rahul Dravid has become Kovid positive. Now it is difficult for him to go with the team in the Asia Cup. It remains to be seen when Dravid will join the rest of the team which is set to leave for the UAE. Let us tell you that Dravid did not go on the Zimbabwe tour with Team India. He was rested from this tour. In his absence, VVL Laxman went on a tour of Zimbabwe in the role of coach.
In his absence, Paras Mhambrey has been made in-charge. It has not yet been decided whether VVS Laxman will be involved or not, a decision will be taken after a few days. BCCI wants to wait till next week so that Dravid can recover and join the team.
Although no decision has been taken regarding the name of VVS Laxman, but it is expected that he will get this responsibility once again in the Asia Cup. Let us tell you that the Asia Cup is going to start in UAE from 27th August. However, Team India will start its campaign against Pakistan on August 28. However, till now no official confirmation has been made regarding this news.
The news of Dravid being Corona positive came to light when Team India left for the UAE on Tuesday morning for the Asia Cup and Dravid was not with the team. In a big tournament like Asia Cup, where the first match is against Pakistan, then it is necessary to have an experienced coach like Dravid with the team so that the pressure on the players can be reduced.
