Shubman Gill and Avesh Khan will likely to return to India after the T20 World Cup 2024 clash against Canada. Both cricketers are part of India's reserves for the marquee event. The duo travelled to Florida with the rest of the team as backups in case of any adversity.
Both Shubman and Avesh were only up to the US leg unless there were unexpected injuries to the players. They were flying with the Indian squad because it would not be possible for the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to send the replacement from India to the United States or the Caribbean in case of injury. according to a report by Cricbuzz.
ICC organised a charter flight for both India and USA teams after the game at Nassau County International Stadium in Long Island on Wednesday.
BCCI announced Shubman Gill, Rinku Singh, Avesh Khan, and Khaleel Ahmed as the reserves on April 18. Reportedly Rinku and Khaleel may stay on with the squad and travel to Bridgetown, Barbados, where India play their first Super 8 game on June 20.
