The former Indian skipper was given time away from the action ahead of Asia Cup, as VVS Laxman replaced him as India’s coach for the tour of Zimbabwe.
Dravid, along with batting coach Vikram Rathour and bowling coach Paras Mhambrey, had been given rest and all three were supposed to link up with India’s Asia Cup squad in Dubai.
Meanwhile, a few players have already left for Dubai where they would play arch-rivals Pakistan in the tournament opener on August 28.
