First day of camp affected by rain

Training on the opening day of the Indian cricket team's preparatory camp for the Asia Cup was called off because of inclement weather in Chennai.

Rains since morning forced the team management to call off the day's practice session.

Eight cricketers have assembled here for a two-day camp ahead of the Asia Cup beginning in Sri Lanka from June 15.

Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, Ashok Dinda and Pragyan Ojha will fly directly to Colombo after completing their Twenty20 engagements against Zimbabwe.

India will take on Bangladesh in their opening match of the Asia Cup on June 16, followed by a match against arch-rivals Pakistan on June 19.
