I would never recommend sparring on your second day. I was training 3 or 4 times a week for at least 2 months before I had my first sparring session, and even then, I was still brand new.
There really isn't any set timeline though. That's up to the coach to decide if someone can spar or not. But in my opinion, you should at the very least know how to keep a basic stance, how to move around the ring, how to throw a jab and a cross, keep your head down, and keep your hands up.
Head movement, advanced combos, pad work, cutting off the ring, that's more advanced and things a new guy shouldn't be concerned with. Some of which I myself still struggle with.
After I have a rough sparring session, I usually take the next day off. I won't do anything physically strenuous. You have to know your own body and pay attention to it. Always use a mouthguard and wear headgear. You don't want to play around with things like that. Be smart.
