Sanju Samson Says Team Activities Keep India Focused Amid Rain Delays in Nagoya
· Sports · Sportstar, NDTV Sports
Opening batsman Sanju Samson stated that constant team meetings and gym sessions have kept the Indian squad focused during weather disruptions at the Asian Games in Nagoya, Japan. Persistent rain has restricted India to a single five-overs-a-side match against Japan on September 22, while their quarterfinal against Afghanistan was abandoned without a ball being bowled. The team is scheduled to hold its first proper training session ahead of their semifinal clash against Sri Lanka. Samson noted that both teams will face unfamiliar conditions due to sluggish pitches and soft outfields caused by continuous rain.
