“Either on the day of departure or a day before,” the insider told India Today, “Virat and Rohit will land in the capital.”
On October 15, distinct groups of the Indian ODI team will leave Delhi for Australia. The team’s ultimate travel schedule will depend on ticket availability and logistics.
According to people close to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the first batch of players would depart early in the morning, and the others will board a plane that same evening. Additionally, the availability of business-class tickets for the trip will determine this.
Information on the availability of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma was also supplied by a source.
There will be three ODIs and five T20Is in the forthcoming white-ball series. The team will play the first ODI of the series on Sunday, October 19, in Perth. The ODI squad members may be permitted to return home before reassembling in the nation’s capital if their current domestic or international commitments are finished earlier than planned.
Friday, October 10 is the start of the second and final Test match between India and the West Indies in the two-match series at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. In the Ahmedabad match that opened the series, the home team prevailed by an innings and 140 runs.
Head coach Gautam Gambhir has invited the entire team to his home in Delhi’s Rajinder Nagar for a team meal, for those who are unaware. The purpose of this gesture is to strengthen team bonds and promote camaraderie prior to the unit’s white-ball tour.
