Coach Dravid to join team in UAE; Laxman set to depart

In front of India's eagerly awaited Asia Cup 2022 opener against Pakistan, lead trainer Rahul Dravid is set to join the crew. The previous India commander, who is supposed to arrive at Dubai late on Saturday (August 27) night, will be in the changing area during the conflict against the most despised rivals. Cricket additionally comprehends that VVS Laxman, who was named break mentor without Dravid, will fly back home. It is discovered that his return flight is on Saturday night itself and he won't accompany the side for their competition opener on Sunday. "He is getting back this evening," said a source in Dubai. Laxman's presence in Dubai was required as Dravid, who tried positive for COVID-19, couldn't go with the Indian side on August 23. "Mr. Laxman has connected up with the crew in Dubai alongside bad habit skipper Mr. KL Rahul, Mr. Deepak Hooda and Mr. Avesh Khan, who went from Harare," the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had said on Laxman's appearance in Dubai from Harare while naming him the break mentor. "Mr Laxman, who went with the Indian group that played the ODI series in Zimbabwe will administer the group's arrangement without a trace of Mr Rahul Dravid, who tried positive for COVID-19 preceding the group's takeoff to the UAE. Mr Dravid will join the group once he tests negative and is cleared by the BCCI Medical Team," the BCCI had said. The in-between time courses of action were made in light of the fact that it was at first expected that Dravid would require no less than multi week to get back. In any case, the previous skipper's recuperation is perceived to have been a speedy one.
