IND Vs ENG: Rohit Sharma & Co. Asked To Reach Rajkot On February 11 Ahead Of Third Test- Report
IND Vs ENG: With the Third Test match beginning on February 15, those selected for the third Test have been asked to report to Rajkot on February 11 by the BCCI.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has reportedly asked the players who get picked for the third Test match against England to report to Rajkot on February 11 ahead of the third Test match beginning on February 15. While the BCCI had only announced the squad for the first two Test matches, the squad announcement for the remaining three Test matches is eagerly awaited with several players recovering from injury and no official word on Virat Kohli's availability.
Amid all this, a report carried by Indian Express has claimed that the players who get selected for the third Test match have been asked to come to Rajkot on Sunday (February 11). The same report among other credible sources suggest that KL Rahul is likely to walk back into the team for the third Test after being ruled out of the match in Vizag after complaining from quadriceps pain. Meanwhile, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja had also been ruled out of the second Test match with a hamstring injury. However, the team management seems confident of roping in Jadeja for the match at his home ground.
