Rohit & Co. arrive in Colombo ahead of ODI series; Nayar deputed to oversee nets
Rohit Sharma has shown up in Colombo, going from the US to Sri Lanka, for the impending three-match ODI series. Aside from the Indian skipper, the players chose solely for the ODIs against Sri Lanka looked into the ITC Ratnadipa lodging in the Sri Lankan capital on Sunday night. Among them were Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Kuldeep Yadav, and Harshit Rana.
Group sources from Sri Lanka have uncovered that the ODI players will take part in a net meeting at the arena on Monday. The Indian group the board has deputed Abhishek Nayar, one of the associate mentors under lead trainer Gautam Gambhir, to direct the meeting in Colombo. Nayar left for Colombo on Monday morning after the second T20I on Sunday night.
Different individuals from the crew will join Rohit and Co. after fulfillment of the third and last T20I in Pallekele on July 30. The sightseers have previously dominated the three-game T20I series by taking an unassailable 2-0 lead.
The ODI series begins in Colombo on August 2 and every one of the three games will be played at the R Premadasa Global Cricket Arena. The series finishes up on August 7, after the second ODI on August 4.
In the mean time, Morne Morkel is supposed to join the training staff under Gambhir as a bowling trainer. His association with the group is expected in any case the home series against Bangladesh, beginning in September.
Gambhir as of late referenced that the group the executives would assess the training arrangement during the six-match series in Sri Lanka, with plans to lay out an undeniable training staff for future series. It stays questionable whether Sairaj Bahutule, who spends significant time in turn bowling, and presently visiting Lanka as a break bowling trainer, will proceed. Considering that Morkel, a quick bowling master, isn't known for his skill in turn bowling, the group might require a committed twist bowling trainer.
Assuming that Bahutule clutches his situation, the group would incorporate two colleague mentors (Abhishek Nayar and Ryan ten Doeschate), a bowling trainer (Morkel), a handling mentor (T Dilip), and a twist bowling trainer, alongside the lead trainer Gambhir. This would carry the all out to six mentors, which might be thought of as too much.
