Camp for Indian team in Bangalore

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM JULY 13. The conditioning camp to prepare the Indian team for the Test series against New Zealand will be held in Bangalore from August 14 to 26.

The fortnight-long camp will be followed by a practice camp from September 1 to 6 under the supervision of National coach, John Wright, according to the BCCI secretary, Mr. S. K. Nair.

The BCCI secretary said the cricket practice camp would be restricted to the final 25 probables named by the selection committee.

This will be followed by the one-day series for the N.K.P. Salve Challenger Trophy to be held in Bangalore from September 10 to 16.

Mr. Nair hoped that the team would thus be able to prepare for the coming cricketing season.

Besides playing in the two Tests, the Kiwis are also scheduled to feature in a tri-series in which Australia would be the third side.

The tri-series would feature 10 matches including the final in Kolkata on November 18.

The New Zealand team is scheduled to arrive in India on September 23 and play against the Board President's XI and the India `A' team before the Test series.
