Overview

• The August 17 programme in Bengaluru featured 14 BCCI-targeted pacers alongside eight Under-19 bowlers in an intensive development camp.
• Participants underwent comprehensive fitness assessments, bowling technique refinement and game-scenario tactical drills under fast-bowling coach Troy Cooley.
• BCCI footage and a social-media statement confirmed attendance by Harshit Rana, injury-recovered Anshul Kamboj and domestic talents like Tushar Deshpande and Simarjeet Singh.
• The initiative responds to depth gaps laid bare by injuries to Akash Deep and Arshdeep Singh during the recent England Test series.
• Several Under-19 pacers from the camp are slated to join India’s U19 tour of Australia from September 21 to October 7.
