“The Board is still monitoring Dravid’s health and we are still hopeful that he can join the team at a later stage,” a Board insider told Sportstar, indicating that the India head coach has mild symptoms and he is expected to take another RT-PCR test in a day or two.
Till the time there is clarity on Dravid’s availability, Laxman will lead on the coaching front, along with bowling coach Paras Mhambrey and batting coach Vikram Rathour.
India will play its first game of the Asia Cup on August 28 against Pakistan.
