India vs West Indies: While KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal joined the India camp after missing the first ODI, Navdeep Saini, who tested positive for Covid-19, also trained in Ahmedabad on Monday.
Vice-captain KL Rahul and opener Mayank Agarwal joined Team India camp in Ahmedabad on Monday, days ahead of the 2nd ODI against the West Indies. Meanwhile, Navdeep Saini, who was in isolation after contracting Covid-19, is also back with the team.
Rahul, Mayank and Saini were seen training at the Narendra Modi Stadium as India began preparation for the 2nd ODI, which will be played on Wednesday.
Notably, KL Rahul had missed the first ODI due to personal reasons. Mayank was not part of the squad for the 1st ODI as he was still completing his quarantine after having been added to the squad last week following Covid-19 cases in the Indian camp.
