However, not everyone had a good time during the boat trip to the island as some of them had sea sickness while travelling. BCCI
“It was challenging getting here. Yacht ride on choppy waters wasn’t exactly everyone’s cup of tea. Mine neither. But, once we got here, it’s a beautiful island and beautiful place," said Team India coach Rahul Dravid. BCCI
Upon reaching the island, Hardik Pandya's birthday was celebrated. BCCI
Indian players also tried their hands on the game handball, which recently gained traction in India with medal success at the Commonwealth Games. BCCI
Arshdeep seems to be particularly pleased with the design of his lawn bowl as he flaunted it on the camera. BCCI
After the lawn bowl session, Indian players, including Virat Kohli, clicked photos with the wildlife animals at the island. BCCI
“It was just about getting away from the game, having a refresher, having some time to laugh and bond and having some fun together before the big tournament," said Upton. BCCI
