Chawla told to join bowlers’ camp

Uttar Pradesh leg-spinner Piyush Chawla has been asked to join the five-day bowlers camp here starting tomorrow. Chawla was to leave last night for Australia where here was scheduled to train at the Centre of Excellence in Brisbane along with Tamil Nadu medium pacer Yomahesh and Saurashtra batsman Cheteshwar Pujara.

It was also speculated that the 18-year-old had been advised to cancel his Australian sojourn since he could be named in the Indian squad for the one-day internationals against South Africa and Pakistan later this month. Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh, who were part of the originial list, would not take part in the camp as they would be playing in the Afro-Asia Cup.
