However, there is still doubt that Köhli will be able to join the team during the practice match against Bangladesh at the Nassau County Cricket Ground. His inclusion will depend on his health condition after the long trip and whether he is willing to play for the Bangladeshi team in the friendly fixture.

That said, Kohli is not a stranger to the conditions, having played a two-match series in South Africa earlier this year, and is also in fantastic IPL form. So perhaps he will not need too much further warm-up before being ready to go again.
