KL Rahul Has Been Picked For The West Indies Tour, But It Is Subject To His Fitness
Rahul hasn’t played since the 2022 Indian Premier Competition (IPL) when he guided the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) to the playoffs in their inaugural season in the world’s wealthiest cricket league.
On the eve of the first game in Delhi, Rahul was ruled out of the home series against South Africa, when he was expected to lead the team for the first time on home soil and make his international captaincy debut in the shortest format. Rahul had to miss the full multi-format trip to England as well.
The Indian opener has been picked to the team for the five-match Twenty20 International series against the West Indies. His availability, though, is still subject to fitness. With the T20 World Cup in 2022 fast approaching, India will be hoping he can return to top-level cricket soon.
