Conditioning camp for India A team in Bengaluru from Tuesday

Ahead of the upcoming tour Down Under, the India A squad will undergo a strength and conditioning camp at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru from Tuesday.

The week-long programme aims to prepare the team for the tour, where the Rahul Dravid-coached side is scheduled to play one-day quadrangular series followed by two four-day games.

The camp for the Naman Ojha-led 16-member squad will be conducted by team physiotherapist Yogesh Parmar and trainer Anand Date in conjunction with NCA chief physiotherapist, Andrew Leipus and NCA trainer Rajinikant.
