In what has come as a welcoming update, BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) have made public the current status of Sharma’s injury and whether he will be available for the first T20I between India and Bangladesh or not.

In a statement released by the board, it is confirmed that Sharma will take the field on Sunday. The first T20I will be Sharma’s 16th match as captain of India.

Speaking at an event in Delhi yesterday, Sharma remained unperturbed about the prevailing “Public Health Emergency” in Delhi affecting the first T20I. “I have just landed and haven’t had time to assess. As far as I know, the game is to be played on November 3 and will be played.

“We didn’t have any problem when we played the Test match here [vs Sri Lanka in 2017]. We are not aware of the exact discussion and I haven’t had any problem,” Sharma was quoted as saying.
