Some members of the Team India squad already departed for the United Kingdom on Tuesday, May 23 to commence preparation for the upcoming ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Final, scheduled to take place in June at the Oval in London.
Among those players whose teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL) did not qualify for the playoffs, such as Axar Patel, Shardul Thakur, and Mohammed Siraj, will be included in the first batch departing. The initial group, consisting primarily of support staff members led by head coach Rahul Dravid left in the early hours of Tuesday, comprising approximately 20 individuals.
Although, the original plan was to dispatch the initial batch right after the conclusion of the IPL league stage on Sunday. However, certain players made requests to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to leave at a later date.
