New Delhi: Senior batsman KL Rahul is all set to miss the Asia Cup in Sri Lanka as he will take more time to recover from his hamstring injury. As far as participation in the World Cup is concerned, it may be difficult for another star Shreyas Iyer to play which is a matter of concern.
Rahul underwent thigh surgery while Iyer underwent surgery on his lower back to repair a stress fracture. The return of both is not mentioned in the last update of BCCI (Indian Cricket Board).

A BCCI source said on condition of anonymity, “It is unlikely that both Rahul and Shreyas will be match fit for 50-over cricket and that too in the humid conditions of Sri Lanka. ,
“But the BCCI medical team feels that Rahul can be fit at least before the three-match series against Australia before the World Cup,” he said.
