Kent County Cricket Ground: India pacer Prasidh Krishna said that the opening day of the intra-squad match at Kent County Cricket Ground was a great experience for the players to get some game time ahead of the five-match Test series against England, starting on June 20.

After the arrival of the full Indian squad in England, this is the first time that the touring party is getting the game time together in the ongoing four-day practice game. Previously, Indian squad members including Karun Nair, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Dhruv Jurel, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shardul Thakur and KL Rahul (only second) took part in two unofficial Tests against England Lions.

“It’s really important for all of us to get this game time… because some of them are coming from the ‘A’ game. Getting time on the field is really important. That’s what happened today as well," Prasidh told bcci.tv.
