In a big setback for Team India, pacer Deepak Chahar will be out of action for another 4-5 weeks.
With the T20 World Cup only 4 months away, Chahar, who missed the entire IPL season due to injury, still needs a month's time to completely recover and will not be available for at least the limited-overs leg in England.
While talking to news agency PTI after his rehab session in Bengaluru, Chahar said that he is bowling four-five overs at one go as per his rehab programme and that his recovery is going pretty well.

The 29-year-old pacer sustained an injury during the home series against the West Indies, which had ruled him out of the entire IPL 2022.
Chahar, along with Washington Sundar and T Natarajan are currently at the NCA for their rehabilitation and while Chahar's recovery will take time, Sundar is nearing full fitness and the all-rounder from Tamil Nadu is all set to fly out to England for a stint with county side Lancashire.
