The tournament is scheduled to take place from January 20 to February 6.

A representative of the Consulate General of Vietnam in Mumbai travelled to the airport to assist the team with necessary procedures.

Other members are waiting for their COVID-19 test result in Spain, where the team headed for a short training camp last December, hoping to get a timely flight to India on January 19. They are in stable health.

Earlier, 15 members of the squad tested positive for the virus.
