Meanwhile, Vice-captain KL Rahul and batter Mayank Agarwal on Monday (February 7) joined the India camp after missing the first ODI against West Indies.
Navdeep Saini, who was in isolation after contracting Covid-19, is also back with the team.
On Monday, the Indian cricket board (BCCI) took to Twitter to share pictures of Rahul, Mayank, and Saini training at the Narendra Modi Stadium as India began preparation for the second ODI, which will be played on Wednesday (February 9).
“Look who are here! The trio has joined the squad and sweated it out in the practice session today. #TeamIndia | #INDvWI,” the BCCI said in a statement.
Rahul missed the first ODI due to personal reasons. Agarwal was not part of the squad for the first ODI as he was still completing his quarantine after being added to the squad last week following Covid-19 cases in the Indian camp.
Earlier, before the first ODI against West Indies, Shreyas Iyer, Dhawan, Ruturaj, and Saini tested positive for COVID-19.
As a result, all these players missed the first ODI against West Indies. The Rohit-led squad defeated Windies by six wickets in the first ODI at the Narendra Modi Stadium. India and West Indies will now lock horns in the second ODI on Wednesday at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
