With 24 hours left for the start of the Asia Cup 2023, the news has come out that the Indian team is getting a big blow. The star player of the Indian cricket team will not be able to participate in the first match. Coach Rahul Dravid said this in a press conference before the start of the Asia Cup. Head coach Rahul Dravid told the media that KL Rahul's fitness is being worked on but he will not be able to play in the first two matches of the Asia Cup. India's first match is against Pakistan on September 2, while the second match is against Nepal on September 4. KL Rahul cannot play in both these matches.

World Cup squad to be announced by September 5

The Indian squad announced for Asia Cup 2023 saw the return of KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer after long injuries. After the return of these two players, the fans of Team India got some relief. But now this news has once again raised the concern of fans. The special thing is that the World Cup team is also going to be announced by September 5. Before that these two matches were only to test the players of the team. But now questions are being raised about Rahul's World Cup selection after his injury. Along with this, the coach has declared Shreyas Iyer fully fit.

Sanju Samson was included in the squad as a stand-by player

KL Rahul was injured during IPL 2023. He was injured in Thailand. He worked a lot on his fitness at the NCA, but when the squad was being selected for the Asia Cup, his muscles pulled again. However, he was given a place in Team India. Apart from this, Sanju Samson was included in the team as a stand-by player. KL Rahul's absence is not good news for Team India. Because this player could have given better balance to Team India. Had KL Rahul been fit, he would have played wicketkeeper and batted alongside him at number five where both his average and strike rate are superb.
