Watch: KL Rahul Spotted At Mumbai Airport Ahead Of Team Selection For 3rd Test vs England
KL Rahul had complained of a right quadriceps pain and missed the second Test in Visakhapatnam due to the same.
India batter KL Rahul is expected to join up with the squad for the third Test of the five-match series against England, starting February 15 in Rajkot. Rahul, who missed the second Test due to an injury, was recently spotted at the Mumbai airport. A video has gone viral on social media where Rahul was seen posing with fans before entering the lobby at the Terminal 2 of Mumbai Airport. However, there is no confirmation regarding his availability for the match yet.
Rahul had complained of a right quadriceps pain and missed the second Test in Visakhapatnam due to the same.
Meanwhile, batter Shreyas Iyer is unlikely to be picked in the India squad for the remainder of the Test series against England.
Iyer has had recurring troubles with his back and had also undergone a surgery last year. The 29-year-old made 35, 13, 27, 29 in the opening two Tests and was guilty of not capitalising on starts.
"He has complained of stiffness and back issue," a BCCI source told PTI.
The selectors are yet to announce the squad for the last three Tests but they could do that on Friday.
On Monday, India bounced back to level the five-match series with a 106-run victory in Visakhapatnam. England, who have flown back to Abu Dhabi before the third Test in Rajkot beginning February 15, won the series opener by 28 runs.
India will be assemble in Rajkot on February 11 and England are expected to reach there a day after.
The five-match series is tied at 1-1.
