Indian team arrives at Thiruvananthapuram for the World Cup warm up fixture against Netherlands.
On Sunday, October 1, the Team India departed from Guwahati and arrived in Thiruvananthapuram, marking the preparation for their second warm-up match leading up to the ICC 2023 ODI World Cup. Their initial warm-up encounter against England in Guwahati had been marred by persistent rain, resulting in the match being abandoned without a single ball bowled on Saturday.
The Men in Blue are scheduled to take on the Netherlands in their next warm-up fixture on Tuesday, October 3, at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram. Despite the unfortunate abandonment of the practice match against England, India’s readiness for the World Cup appears to be on the right trajectory. They displayed commendable performances in the Asia Cup and the subsequent three-match series against Australia over the past month.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) shared an update about the Indian team’s arrival in Kerala’s capital on its official Instagram handle on Sunday. The video footage captured Team India players receiving a warm and traditional welcome from the hotel staff in the city, setting a positive tone for their upcoming matches.
