Let us tell you that both Yuzvendra Chahal and Yashasvi Jaiswal are part of the main squad, while Avesh is included in the list of reserve players. Now these three will join the team soon, while some other players will still not be able to join the team because they are not in a position to leave for America right now due to other reasons. This includes some players like Sanju Samson, Virat Kohli. Actually, before leaving for America, a picture has surfaced from the airport, which Chahal has posted on his official Instagram account.

Chahal captioned this photo as “For national duty.” Let us tell you that all three players were part of Rajasthan Royals (RR) in IPL and this team lost to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the second qualifier and was out of this season. After this, the players of the team could not go with the first batch that left on Sunday and this is the reason that now all these players are reaching America through different planes. At present, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, Sanju Samson and Rinku Singh are still not associated with the team and they are likely to join soon.

Team India will play its first match in this World Cup against Ireland on June 5 at the newly built Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. Before this, Rohit Sharma and company will play a practice match against Bangladesh on June 1. While the Men in Blue will play their second match against their arch rival Pakistan on June 9 at the same ground.
