Bangalore, Aug 7: The Indian cricketers on Monday practised for four hours at two different venues here on the first day of their skill development camp in the run-up to the tri-series in Sri Lanka.

Skipper Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Irfan Pathan, Suresh Raina, L Balaji and V R V Singh attended the nets session at the NCA campus under the watchful eyes of coach Greg Chappell and physio John Gloster.

The remaining players underwent nets at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, conducted by trainer Gregory King and bio-mechanist Ian Frazer.

In the two nets sessions held in the morning and afternoon, the players spent two hours each.

Prior to the morning session, the players had one hour of yoga session as well.

In the post-lunch nets, under-19 boys of the NCA here bowled at the cricketers. However, in the afternoon, the focus was on fielding.

The centre of attention was comeback man Sachin Tendulkar, who was seen taking catches and throwing the ball from within 25 yards.

In the evening, the cricketers will take part in a charity dinner for the Mumbai blast victims.
