The hospital released Abhishek on Wednesday after he spent time there following his stomach infection which caused him to miss the game against Namibia. Suryakumar Yadav, the Indian captain, announced at the toss that Abhishek would require one or two games to achieve complete recovery. Sanju Samson opened alongside Ishan Kishan in Abhishek’s absence. The training sessions in Colombo will determine whether Abhishek will play in the match against Pakistan.
