Head coach Rahul Dravid has tested negative for Covid-19 and is set to join the Indian team ahead of its much-awaited Asia Cup opener against Pakistan here on Sunday. Batting great Dravid, who had tested positive for the virus ahead of the team`s departure for the continental tournament in a routine test, has fully recovered from the condition.
The former India skipper didn`t travel with the team after testing positive as the BCCI appointed NCA head VVS Laxman as India`s interim coach. Since returning positive in the test conducted on August 23, Dravid had been undergoing home isolation. Earlier, BCCI secretary Jay Shah released a statement where he stated that the Indian head coach had mild symptoms.
