(The Quiver): India opener Shikhar Dhawan and middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer have been cleared for training after testing negative for Covid-19. However, they are ruled out of the second ODI that is scheduled to take place in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.

Iyer and Dhawan went through some light training at the Narendra Modi Stadium under the watchful eyes of the BCCI medical team. Navdeep Saini, who was in isolation after contracting Covid-19, is also back with the team. Young opener Ruturaj Gaikwad, however, is still in isolation.
