Dravid hadn’t made the long journey to Zimbabwe for the three three-match ODI series that India won 3-0. In his absence, VVS Laxman had taken up the role of the head coach.

India’s campaign at the Asia Cup begins on 28 August, a day after the first match of the edition, against arch-rivals Pakistan. The side are scheduled to begin training in Dubai from 25 August.

Other members in the squad such as KL Rahul, Axar Patel, Avesh Khan, Deepak Hooda will be landing in Dubai a little later having completed their assignments in Zimbabwe.
