Bengaluru: Karnataka bowlers David Mathais and Prasidh Krishna along with Mumbai duo Tushar Deshpande and Minad Manjrekar are all set to head to Australia for training at the Centre of Excellence.
The four bowlers have been selected as part of the KSCA-IDBI Federal Life Insurance Bowling Foundation’s training programme and will land down under on June 24 for a three-week training stint under Australian pace legend Jeff Thompson among others.
“It’s a great opportunity. There will be different pitches and weather conditions there. It’s a preparation to get into next level of cricket. We have been used to all kind of wickets in India but Australian wickets will be different. I see
it as a good period to learn and with all the training techniques that they have there, I will come out with better exposure,” said Krishna, who was impressive
in his debut for the state against West Indies ‘A’ last year. Meanwhile, another one of their bowlers in the foundation, Gujarat Lions’ Shivil Kaushik, is headed for a stint in England with Hull.
