Indian cricketers today slogged it out for over two hours on the last day of the
conditioning camp ahead of their Bangladesh tour even as youngster Dinesh Karthik joined his team mates.
Karthik, who could not participate in the camp so far due to his marriage, had
batting and fielding practice with other players.
Sachin Tendulkar, who injured his ankle while tackling a bouncer on
the opening day, also had batting practice at the net. He, however, did not
take part in fielding.
Skipper Rahul Dravid, who was injured on nose by a R P Singh delivery yesterday, did not appear at the Eden session as he was
advised rest by attending doctor.
The day's session mostly confined to batting and fielding, as the players negotiated
bounce on a grassy wicket and focussed on high catches and fine-tuning their
throws from the deep.
After the conclusion of the camp at Eden Gardens, the
players will have swimming at the hotel pool and attend yoga classes thereafter.
Team manager Ravi Shastri said the facilities at Eden
were good and the support staff did a commendable job.
