Manchester: Rain forced India to practice indoors yesterday in an optional training session ahead of their match against West Indies at Old Trafford here tomorrow. Skipper Virat Kohli, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Vijay Shankar and Ravindra Jadeja were the only ones to arrive for the indoor session, with the rest of the team members hitting the gym at the team hotel.

The good news for India was that Bhuvneshwar, who had pulled his hamstring during the Pakistan match on June 16, bowled in the nets and did not look to be in any discomfort. He bowled under the watchful eyes of physio Patrick Farhat. Bowling coach Bharat Arun also kept a close eye on Bhuvneshwar’s actions.
