Two-day practice game, an early detour from TNPL, Ravi Ashwin details on India’s preparation camp ahead of the West Indies series
The World Test Championship bruises might still be fresh but India are set to get back to business as they start their preparations ahead of the all-format series against the West Indies.
All-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin detailed on the same in his recent YouTube video.
“We have already reached the West Indies shores. We have a 10-day window to get rid of the jetlag and start our practice. Our current coach Rahul bhai always lays more emphasis on a lot on preparation. Our preparation is the process. If we can take care of the preparation, the rest will take care of itself. So, that is the thought process. So we’ve come really ahead for the preparation,” Ashwin said.
The bowling all-rounder was part of the Dindigul Dragons franchise in the Tamil Nadu Premier League, leaving to play a day after the WTC Final concluded in London. “In fact, I was supposed to play 6-7 games in the TNPL but had to cut short and reach here after playing four games,” the spinner said.
“We have come to Barbados. Why have we come here? Because we have our preparation camp here and will also have a two-day match here before heading to Dominica for the first Test,” he added.
Having landed in Barbados earlier this week, the Indian squad and the backroom staff took to some beach volleyball.
With an ODI World Cup less than 100 days away from being hosted in India, the Rohit Sharma captained side in two Tests, three ODIs and five T20Is, two of which shall be played in Lauderhill, Florida in the United States of America.
