MI to hold 3-week UK camp for Indian domestic players

New Delhi: After a disastrous Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign, the Mumbai Indians are all set to start their preparations in earnest for the next edition. They will embark on a three-week exposure tour of England in July for their uncapped Indian players.

Apart from enjoying training at various stateof-the-art facilities, the Indian youngsters of MI will be playing at least 10 T20 games against top club sides across multiple counties. “NT Tilak Varma, Kumar Kartikeya, Ramandeep Singh, Hrithik Shokeen are some of the players who will get exposure playing against top T20 club sides in trying conditions. Arjun Tendulkar, who is also in the UK and South African youngster Dewald Brevis are also likely to join the touring party,” said an IPL insider privy to the development.

The MI support staff headed by chief coach Mahela Jayawardene will also be in England to oversee the progress of the Indian players. “While players like Rohit Sharma, premier pacer Jasprit Bumrah will be on the road with the national team, our international stars will also be busy with their respective commitments,” said the source.
