As of now you can use cordova platform add android@6.2.0-nightly.2016.12.9.6c60dc5d or cordova platform add https://github.com/apache/cordova-android

Keep in mind that the second command adds the latest version and it may introduce other bugs....

In the future you may use cordova platform add android@6.2.0 but as of now 6.2.0 does not exist. (Check here: https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/releases)
