Overview

  • Players were asked to report on August 24, with the camp scheduled to run from August 25 for one week.
  • The group includes the 15-player World Cup squad plus six standbys, with India A players expected to link up after their tour concludes.
  • Two intra-squad day-night practice matches are planned during the camp as match simulation ahead of the Australia ODIs.
  • The venue was shifted from Bengaluru after the KSCA could not secure police clearance for matches at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
  • Acclimatisation to the ACA-VDCA Stadium is a priority as India play South Africa on October 9 and Australia on October 12 there, with only Harmanpreet Kaur, Smriti Mandhana and Sneh Rana having previous experience at the ground.
