The first squad of Team India has left on May 25 for the ICC T20 World Cup to be held in America and West Indies. The team's head coach Rahul Dravid along with many players and support staff participated in this. Rest of the players will leave after the final match of IPL 2024.

However, in the first batch, even Virat Kohli had to go to America with the head coach. But he could not go.

Indian cricket team's star batsman Virat Kohli could not get a place in the first batch of players to leave for America. The reason for this is the delay in some important papers.

Players like Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja arrived in Mumbai and left for America along with coach Rahul Dravid and the rest of the team, but Kohli was not seen with the team. Now the news has come that Virat will go to America after completing the paperwork on 30th May.

That means he will not be able to participate in the warm-up against Bangladesh before the start of the tournament.

Apart from Kohli, team vice-captain Hardik Pandya also did not go with the first batch. Hardik is currently in London and will join the team directly from there. The Indian team will begin their campaign against Ireland on June 5, followed by a match against Pakistan in New York 5 days later.
