Getting time on the field is really important: Prasidh Krishna on intra-squad game

India pacer Prasidh Krishna described the opening day of the ongoing intra-squad four-day match held behind closed doors at the Kent County Cricket Ground as a valuable opportunity for the players to get some much-needed game time ahead of the five-match Test series against England, which begins on June 20.

The proposed unveiling of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy—the new prize for India-England bilateral Test series—during the ICC World Test Championship Final at Lord's was postponed due to the tragic plane crash in Ahmedabad, that left over 275 people, including 241 on board, dead.

The trophy launch ceremony was originally scheduled for Saturday on the sidelines of the World Test Championship (WTC) final that South Africa won by five wickets against Australia. However, considering the solemn mood in India, following Thursday's tragic crash of the London-bound Air India flight, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have jointly decided to call off the event.
