Dhruv Jurlel reports that his muscles were pulled during practice, after which he was advised to comfort. Dhruv Jurael is also among the standby players of the Asia Cup, so the selectors do not want to take any risk about them.

Ryan Parag Captain in place of Abhimanyu Ishwaran
East Zone captain Abhimanyu Ishwaran also did not get to play in the first round as he got a flu just before the match. Ishwaran sat outside on a tour of England, so this match was very important for him, but fever gave him a blow. Ryan Parag was given the command of the team in place of Ishwaran. The East Zone was already struggling with the absence of fast bowlers Akash Deep and Ishaan Kishan, now his team got a big shock due to being out.
