NEW DELHI, Aug 23: India men’s cricket team will on Tuesday travel to the United Arab Emirates for the Asia Cup without Rahul Dravid as the head coach has tested positive for COVID-19.
“Dravid is under the supervision of the BCCI medical team and has mild symptoms. He will join the team once he returns with a negative COVID-19 report,” Jay Shah, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary, wrote in a statement issued on Tuesday.
Dravid will be able to leave for Dubai only after returning negative tests on successive days after five days. It definitely rules him out of playing a direct role during India’s high-profile clash versus Pakistan on Sunday, August 28. (Agencies)
