Vastrakar and batter S Meghana had tested positive for Covid-19 but have joined the squad now. While Meghana played against Pakistan, it will be interesting to see if Vastrakar is fielded against Barbados. Vastrakar was a big miss for India in the opening game, as they suffered a disappointing loss at the hands of world ODI and T20 champions Australia.
