Rain threat looms over Kolkata Test

On Wednesday, Team India had to cancel their practice session ahead of the first Test against Sri Lanka due to stormy weather in Eden Gardens, Kolkata.

One of the officials of Team India said, “Due to rainy weather, the practice has been canceled. The team will remain confined to the hotel today.”

The weather was overcast and a flimsy drizzle hit the city on Wednesday which meant even if Virat Kohli and Co. hit the venue for their 9 am training, they would be confined to indoor facilities of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB).

However, a weather department official said, “Light rain will continue for the next two days. The weather will clear up only after that.”

India tour washed Sri Lanka by 9-0 across all formats a couple of months back that too in the latter’s own backyard and will be hoping for similar results when the two nations meet again at home.
