The Indian team will train at Eden Gardens on Tuesday and leave for Guwahati without Shubman Gill on Wednesday

India cricket team will have their first training session on Tuesday at the Eden Gardens post the loss in the IND vs SA 1st Test. The hosts, who were without the services of captain Shubman Gill for 3 innings, were handed a 30-run defeat by South Africa, ending their unbeaten streak in Tests in Kolkata. The IND vs SA 2nd Test will be played in Guwahati from November 22 onwards.

Gill unlikely to travel with Team India to Guwahati

As per ESPNCricinfo, Team India will have a training session at the Eden Gardens on Tuesday. Following that, the team will travel to Guwahati on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Gill – who has been discharged from the hospital as of Sunday evening – will neither be a part of the training session nor will he travel with the team. The report suggests that since commercial air travel is not recommended for people with neck issues, Gill is unlikely to travel with the team on the same day.

After facing just 3 deliveries in the 1st innings, Gill was forced to retire hurt following a sweep shot. The BCCI later said in a statement that he had suffered a neck spasm and was ruled out for the remainder of the 1st Test. Subsequently, the Indian captain was admitted to a hospital and was closely monitored by Dr Dinesh Pardiwala.

“Captain Shubman Gill had a neck injury on Day 2 of the ongoing Test against South Africa in Kolkata. He was taken to the hospital for examination after the end of the day’s play. He is currently under observation in the hospital. He will take no further part in the Test match. He will continue to be monitored by the BCCI medical team,” BCCI had said in a statement on November 16.
