India skipper Rohit Sharma and chief selector Ajit Agarkar are to hold a crucial meeting on Monday (August 21st), following which they will be going to hold a press conference where they are likely to reveal the squad for the upcoming Asia Cup and ODI World Cup 2023.

KL Rahul suffered a thigh injury during an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) when the player had to leave the field mid-way and later went through surgery which forced him out of the squad for months.

But Rahul is currently in his rehabilitation program at National Cricket Academy (NCA) and taking part in practice matches,

On the other hand, Shreyas Iyer last played a competitive match in the fourth match of the Border Gavaskar trophy, following which he failed to make it into the squad after his back injury.

On a good note both the players are recovering well, but still have not received a full fit certificate from the NCA doctors and it is quite understandable that the team management is waiting for that only.
