Dhaka, May 23: After the disappointment of the rain-marred
opening Test in Chittagong, the Indian cricket team arrived here
today for the second and final match of the series beginning on
Friday.
The Indian players reached Dhaka by a GMG Airlines flight in the
morning and headed straight for the hotel under strong security
cover.
Team sources said there would be no net practice today. In the
evening, the Indian team would attend a reception organised in
their honour by the Bangladesh Cricket Board.
Meanwhile, leggie Anil Kumble, down with flu, was improving. "I
am feeling better," Kumble said before boarding the Dhaka-bound
flight in Chittagong. Kumble could not complete his batting in
the first innings of the first Test and had to stay out of the
ground for the remaining part of the first Test due to high
fever.
The Bangladesh team arrived in their capital city last night,
and like the Indians, would skip nets today. More than 15 hours
of playing time was lost in the first Test which ended in a dull
draw yesterday. The second Test would be played at the
Sher-e-Bangla stadium. (Agencies)
