India Cricket Team is a team that has suffered a lot due to the injuries of its players in the last few years. Jasprit Bumrah, the main pace bowler of the team, has not played for India since last September due to injury. Rishabh Pant has not returned to the field since he was injured in a car accident in December. Some other senior players are also out due to various injuries.
With the ICC ODI World Cup just around the corner, injuries and fitness issues are adding to India’s headaches. Earlier there were reports that except for Rishabh Pant, who is currently out injured, they will return to the field in August. But now some shocking clues have come out. This may even affect the Indian team’s World Cup hopes.
Super stars will not play in Asia Cup
Currently out of the Indian team due to injury, wicket-keeper batsman KL Rahul and middle-order batsman Shreyas Iyer are unlikely to play in the Asia Cup starting later this month, according to reports. In the past few days, the stars have shared the signs of resuming training after being free from injury through social media. But it is reported that they may not reach the fitness required to return to international cricket before the Asia Cup.
In that case, India will play in the Asia Cup without both of them. But even if they do not play in the Asia Cup, Cricbus reports that these players will be the main players in India’s World Cup squad plans.
Comeback against Australia
Shreyas Iyer was injured during the Border Gavaskar Trophy against Australia this year. Then the star, who missed the IPL completely, also underwent surgery. KL Rahul was injured during the IPL. Rahul suffered a hamstring injury while fielding and underwent surgery in the UK.
As it is almost certain that these two players will not be able to play in the Asia Cup as well, the return of both of them will be in the one-day series to be held against Australia in September. That too only if you are fully fit.

India will build
Before the ODI World Cup, India was supposed to decide the team combination in the Asia Cup. There were reports that India’s World Cup XI and all other plans will be decided after the Asia Cup. But if KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer don’t play, all India’s plans will fall apart. If KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer come directly to play the World Cup, it will also affect the team combination badly.
The World Cup is never a stage for experiments. So everything has to be decided before the tournament. But the fitness of Rahul and Shreyas is likely to hamper everything.
Bumrah and Prasid are back
Like Rahul and Shreyas Iyer, Jasprit Bumrah and Prasid Krishna are players who have been out for a long time. But both have been included in the Indian squad for the upcoming tour of Iceland this month. Bumrah is also leading India in the tournament. Bumrah will lead the bowling line of the Indian team in the World Cup as well. Although Prasid Krishna is also in the World Cup plans, it is doubtful that he will get a place in the 15-member squad.
