"He misses out as a precautionary measure"- India captain Rohit Sharma gives an update on Arshdeep Singh's fitness

Speaking at the toss ahead of the 3rd T20I, Rohit Sharma downplayed Arshdeep Singh's back issue. He stated that the left-arm pacer missed tonight's contest just as a precaution.

Sharma reiterated that the team will continue to play an aggressive brand of cricket going into the upcoming World Cup.

The Indian captain said:

"It's a very high-scoring ground when we've played here, so it's nice to have a score in front of us. Virat and KL, both have been rested. Arshdeep has an issue with his back, so he misses out as a precautionary measure."

He added:

"Shreyas, Umesh Yadav and Siraj come in. For us as a team, we want to keep improving. We want to keep batting the same way and keep ticking the boxes there. We want to challenge ourselves with the ball more. It'll be difficult conditions tonight and we'll look to learn from it."
