New Delhi, Aug 28: Team India Head Coach Rahul Dravid has reached Dubai for Asia Cup 2022 and has joined the team in the hotel after testing negative for COVID-19. The batsman Dravid, who had tested positive for the virus in a routine test before the squad left for the continental championship, has totally recovered.
The former India skipper didn’t travel with the team after testing positive as the BCCI appointed NCA head VVS Laxman as India’s interim coach.
Since returning positive in the test conducted on August 23, Dravid had been undergoing home isolation.
Earlier, BCCI secretary Jay Shah released a statement where he stated that the Indian head coach had mild symptoms.
“Team India Head Coach Rahul Dravid has tested positive for COVID-19 in a routine test conducted ahead of the team’s departure to the UAE for Asia Cup 2022.”
“Dravid is under the supervision of the BCCI Medical team and has mild symptoms. He will join the team once he returns with a negative COVID-19 report,” Shah had said in a release.
