Earlier on Monday, News18 CricketNext had reported that Virat Kohli will likely link up with the squad before the warm-up fixture. The second batch of players left this morning and Sanju Samson, Yuzvendra Chahal, Avesh Khan and Yashasvi Jaiswal will be joining the squad soon.
The entire support staff, led by head coach Rahul Dravid, also arrived with the first batch, and Hardik Pandya is understood to be reached directly from London. India’s premier all-rounder, Mumbai Indians, was on vacation after his IPL side crashed out in the league stages. He was scheduled to travel directly from London to New York.
The Indian cricket team will stay at a five-star hotel not very far away from the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium. The venue will host the side’s warm-up fixture and three more matches—vs. Ireland, Pakistan, and the USA—before they culminate the group stage vs. Canada in Florida.
