The Indian Cricket Team’s all format Captain Rohit Sharma was recently spotted at the Mumbai airport heading to an unknown destination, which is most probably expected to be Bangalore wherein the whole Indian team squad is expected to get together at the National cricket Academy (NCA) in Bangalore, before the team’s visit to Sri Lanka for the Asia Cup 2023. With no further information or communication, it is anticipated that Rohit must be visiting Bangalore as the whole team is expected to get assembled there within a few days.
Reportedly, the Indian team will fly to Sri Lanka next week to prepare for their first match against the archrivals Pakistan on 2 September 2023 at Kandy, Sri Lanka. In the previous week, the Indian team released the much awaited 17 man squad for the Asia Cup, 2023, with remarkable inclusion of Shreyas Iyer, KL, Rahul, Jasprit, Bumrah, and Prasidh Krishna and exclusion of Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal.
