Shubman Gill on disciplinary action rumours 

Earlier, after the clash between India and Canada washed out, India's coach Vikram Rathour revealed that the management had taken the call before the tournament that only two reserve players would join the team for the Caribbean leg.

"This was a plan from the beginning. When we come to the US, four players will come together. After that two will be released and two will travel with us to West Indies. So, this plan was made from the beginning since the team was selected. This was planned so we are just following that," Rathour said during a press conference.

 

Speaking on the India vs Canada washout, Rathour said that the decision was taken in the best interests of both teams, admitting that they would've loved to get some match practice ahead of the Super 8 stage.

 

"Some reserve players are being released Of course, that concern is always there when you play on the conditions which are not ideal. So, decision to play or not to play over with the match officials. So as a team we didn't have any say in that. But if the game had happened that would have really helped us. We were really looking forward to play a game, to play a good game of cricket," he added.

"There's always a concern when you play a game in conditions like this that some injury can happen. You're already in Super 8 and you don't want that to happen. That's the last thing you want to happen before you enter the serious part of the tournament," he added.

 

India will play Afghanistan in their first game of the Super 8 phase on Thursday, June 20 in Barbados.
