Shortly before the start of the 2022 Asia Cup, the India national team was left without its helmsman — Rahul Dravid tested positive for COVID-19. The team went to Dubai without him. The BCCI has already appointed VVS Laxman as the new coach, but his services do not seem to be required: Rahul Dravid has recovered from the coronavirus.

It is reported that the head coach of the India national team has tested negative for coronavirus, allowing him to join the team immediately.

“Yes, we are pleased to confirm that Rahul Dravid, the coach of the India cricket team, has tested negative for coronavirus. He is ready to join his teammates,” the BCCI representative said.

Earlier, the secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, Jay Shah, stated that Rahul Dravid has mild symptoms that cannot interfere with his work.

Recall that the 2022 Asia Cup will be held in the period from August 27 to September 11 in the UAE. India is the current holder of the trophy. And many experts believe that now the India national team will be able to win the 2022 Asia Cup again.
