India will soon begin playing the 2 away T20s vs Ireland from June 26 and Chahar has not been picked in that squad.

He adds that he is recovery is going well and it may take another four to five weeks for him get match fit.   

"It's a step by step process as far as recovery is concerned. I don't think I will be fit for England T20s. Once I am match fit, I will need to play some club level games to check my fitness," Chahar said. He added that he hopes to get fit by the time tour of West Indies comes up, in Late July. 

Not to forget, Deepak recently got married to long-time girlfriend Jaya Bhardwaj. The wedding took place at a lavish hotel in Agra while a wedding reception was hosted at New Delhi where most of the current Indian men's cricketers came and attended the event.
