He also warned against rushing back players from injuries. “You can’t rush players back from injuries. You did that with Jasprit Bumrah, not once, twice but thrice and he has been out for 14 months now”
KL Rahul
Former India head coach Ravi Shastri would not include KL Rahul in the playing XI for the Asia Cup as it would be asking for “too much” from a player who has not played competitive cricket for close to four months. Both Rahul and Shreyas Iyer, who are undergoing injury rehabilitation at the NCA in Bangalore, are expected to regain full fitness before the Asia Cup starting August 31.

“When you are talking of a player who has not played and is recovering from injury. To think of him in the playing XI of Asia Cup, you are asking a little too much of the player himself. “And then you are talking keeping when the guy has come from a knee injury, the range of movement, things like [that]. That is a no, no straight,” Shastri said.
He also warned against rushing back players from injuries. “You can’t rush players back from injuries. You did that with Jasprit Bumrah, not once, twice but thrice and he has been out for 14 months now.”
