BCCI sources expect Rahul to miss a few months of crocket –
KL Rahul as per the sources in the corridors of BCCI is expected to miss at least 2 months of cricket. This could mean that Rahul will be back for the T20 world cup which takes in place in October held by Australia. As far as the upcoming Asia Cup 2022 is concerned, BCCI are tight lipped on Rahul’s status. The source in the know how said “He will be resting for a few days and then his physical rehabilitation will start at the NCA. That will take a few weeks before he starts with his regular net session and let’s see if he can make a comeback in the Asia Cup. But that could be a touch and go”
