India's squad for the Asia Cup was announced last week with BCCI chief selector Ajit Agarkar and India skipper Rohit Sharma, unveiling the names.

There were several questions over KL Rahul's fitness following his Asia Cup 2023 selection as Ajit Agarkar told the media that he was suffering from a slight niggle. Head coach Rahul Dravid confirmed that the wicket-keeper batter will miss the first two games of the continental event as a precaution.

The call-up for the continental tournament was a big deal for the batter after a prolonged battle with injury but the update along with the inclusion of Sanju Samson as a back-up did not alleviate the fears.
