Captain Sharma, Bumrah & Kishan latest to join the squad

Mumbai Indians today set the ground running in preparation to the IPL 2022 campaign.

The 12-day strength and conditioning pre-season camp, ahead of Mumbai Indians’ first match, is being held at their in-house training facility at Reliance Jio Stadium, Navi Mumbai. Mumbai Indians will also play a couple of inter-squad practice matches towards the second week of the camp.

The first day training session was preceded with player assessment analysis by the coaching staff lead by director of cricket Zaheer Khan and coach Mahela Jayawardene.

Over the next 11-weeks, Mumbai Indians coaching staff will look at upskilling these young domestic and international recruits through individual sessions, game situations, mental aspects and physical fitness. Joining Zaheer and Mahela on this task will be the best in class of Shane Bond, Robin Singh, Kiran More, Rahul Sanghvi, Vinay Kumar, TA Sekar, Paul Chapman and data analyst CKM Dhananjai – who have a proven record of nurturing the likes of Suryakumar, Bumrah, Ishan, Pandya brothers and many more in the past.

Earlier, captain Rohit Sharma accompanied by speedster Jasprit Bumrah moved from bubble to bubble to join the squad late last night, while Ishan Kishan flew from Bengaluru separately after securing full-fitness certificate from BCCI’s NCA.
