The Board of Control for Cricket in India has selected three net bowlers to join the team’s training camp in Wellington as part of its Test preparation plan.
India’s cricket board announced that three net bowlers will travel to Wellington to take part in a dedicated training camp aimed at sharpening the side’s readiness for the forthcoming Test series. The selection is part of a broader preparation strategy outlined by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to give the squad ample practice in overseas conditions.
The Wellington camp will provide the Indian team with access to local facilities and pitch conditions similar to those they will face in the upcoming matches. The net bowlers are expected to support the main squad by delivering quality bowling in practice sessions, allowing batsmen to face varied pace and swing.
The schedule, set to run for several weeks, will also include fitness work and strategic meetings. BCCI officials said the initiative aims to fine‑tune techniques and build confidence before the team departs for the Test series, with the ultimate goal of delivering strong performances on foreign soil.
