Having received a clearance certificate on his fitness from the NCA, K.L. Rahul is set to be included in India’s 15-member provisional World Cup squad, which will be announced by Tuesday (September 5).
Rahul has been recuperating at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru post a thigh surgery, and he will have one final round of fitness drills before flying out to Sri Lanka to join the Indian team for the ongoing Asia Cup.
It is understood that the NCA trainers and the team management have been left with little doubt after Rahul batted extensively at nets and in the match simulation process.
