Fielding session gets underway on day one

Kolkata, May 2 (UNI) The Indian team sans V V S Laxman and Dinesh Kaarthik came to Eden Gardens today and had a fielding and fitness session for 75 minutes before packing off even as the summer sun scorched the park.

The regime consisted of jogging and stretching for about half an hour. The players looked fresh and the gloom of the World Cup debacle did not surface in their body language.

Venkatesh Prasad and Robin Singh then took charge of the boys leading them through the fielding regime that included catching and ground fielding.

Dinesh Kaarthik and Laxman would join the camp after tomorrow.
