As India wrapped up the second Test within three days, the players have got a min-break ahead of the third Test to be played from March 1. They are expected to spend some time with their families before regrouping for the Indore Test.
“Players have decided to leave for their homes as the Test match got over in three days. They have now many days as the next Test is from the 1st of March so they are leaving for their homes to spend some quality time with family as they have to play the ODI series after this followed by the IPL.” ANI quoted a source saying.
Notably, the third Test was moved from Dharamshala to Indore as BCCI deemed the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium not yet ready to host an international match.
