IND vs ENG: Team India arrives in Manchester via train, takes last moment U-turn and walks 300m in rain
Image credit: Sahil Malhotra/ in Manchester: The Indian cricket team arrived in Manchester via train this afternoon and was greeted by a steady drizzle. The team, however, took a last-minute U-turn and didn't take the planned route of exiting the platform where the train had arrived. They instead snuck out from a back door, and the players were made to walk 300m, mostly in the rain, to board the team bus. Captain Shubman Gill was spotted with the team as others rushed into the bus because of the rain. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! India stayed back in London after the heartbreak at Lord's and even had a training session in Beckenham. Every player except KL Rahul was in attendance, and while the likes of Rishabh Pant , Akash Deep, and Mohammed Siraj took it easy, the rest operated at full intensity. There was a cause for concern as Arshdeep Singh, who is yet to play a game, injured his bowling hand. The side will now begin preparations at the Old Trafford Ground in Manchester with sessions tomorrow, the day after, and on the eve of the match. Why Team India came to Manchester from London via train and walked in rain The first session will be behind closed doors without any access to the media, just like it happened for two sessions in Birmingham, and doors will be opened for the morning session on July 21 and the afternoon hit on July 22. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play this game for 1 minute and see why everyone is addicted. Undo The Indian team will find the city very pleasant compared to London as it is much cooler and there has been consistent drizzle for the last few days. Even the match days have forecasts of rain, but it hasn't been threatening so far. An odd spell of light showers here and there shouldn't really be a cause for major concern.
