Jammu And Kashmir's Senior Team To Travel To Vadodara For Preparation Camp

Ever since the Indian government decided to abrogate Article 370, which granted special status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir, the entire valley is under lockdown and there was no mobile and internet facility in the state. Curfew in most parts of the valley resulted in players not being able to have any information regarding the camps and consequentially, JKCA had put out an advertisement on local television channels, to reach out to the players from Srinagar and the other districts.

However, Sportstar reported that Irfan Pathan stepped in to help as the Jammu and Kashmir cricketers will travel to Vadodara for a preparation camp, which begins from Friday. The Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) has decided to hold a ten-day camp at the Motibaug Stadium.

“The U-16, U-19 and U-23 boys will be training in Jammu, but those facilities aren’t quite suitable for the senior team. So, we have decided to send the boys to Vadodara,” JKCA’s CEO Ashiq Ali Bukhari, told Sportstar.

“The senior team requires certain facilities, and at the moment, things are not quite ready in Jammu, so we had to send them elsewhere in a bid to ensure that they don’t miss out on any further practice,” Bukhari said.
