Ganguly to miss two days of pace camp

Sourav Ganguly will be late by two days for the special pace bowlers conditioning camp at Bangalore starting Monday. The Indian skipper, who was to oversee the fitness of his paceman, had to change plans due a food allergy which has given him rashes. Talking to The Indian Express Ganguly said that ‘‘it wasn’t something serious’’ and would definitely be joining the camp from Wednesday.

Besides the top pace bowlers Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra, Irfan Pathan and Lakshmipathy Balaji the camp will also see a pack of promising pacers. The week long camp will be conducted by trainer Greg King who has already reached Bangalore. Coach John Wright and physio Andrew Leipus will arrive in time for the India team fitness camp which starts from June 13.
