The 15-member Indian team and five other players called to the camp will, under the watchful eyes of a Pegasus team which includes former Indian Army and Air Force officers, undergo innovative exercises aimed at team-building.

8220;It is a place used by corporates and provides intensive but fun-filled training and army training techniques. The team management wanted to do something different. More than physical strength it is to build mental strength and the 8216;We8217; factor,8221; said a cricket official associated with the conditioning programme

The nearly nine-year-old Pegasus Centre for Excellence was started by a former Indian Parachute regiment officer Capt S Ravi.

8220;The idea is to get the players to build mental strength to play for each other even in the face of extreme physical adversity,8221; an official said.

Called the Outward Bound Learning method, the training session is expected to put the players through special obstacle courses, water-based activities and rock climbing.

Team India8217;s physical trainer Gregory King said: 8220;In the past too, we tried out a few new things which produced positive results.8221; The last time the Indian team were in Bangalore for a conditioning camp, they experimented with Edward De Bono8217;s Six Thinking Hats method.
