The Indian cricket team got down to work soon after landing in Mirpur on Monday for the short series against Bangladesh and sweated it out in a gruelling two-hour net session at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka.
The Virat Kohli-led side arrived by the morning flight from Kolkata and hit the nets at the stadium in the afternoon.
The one-off Test between the countries starts on Wednesday. It will be followed by a three-ODI series.
"Since we arrived today and the boys wanted to practice, it was decided to train at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium as Bangladesh were training at Fatullah. Tomorrow we will be training at Fatullah," BCCI's administrative manager Biswarup Dey said.
Since Fatullah, which is in Narayanganj district, takes about an hour and half to reach from Dhaka city, where the team is staying, it was decided to hit the straps immediately.
The team manager confirmed that all 14 members are fit and Wriddhiman Saha, who had sustained a hit on the chest during the final training session in Kolkata, is absolutely fine and also trained with other members.
The Indian team is concentrating on getting the bowling combination right.
While Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav, Ravichandran Ashwin and Harbhajan Singh are almost certain to play, it will be up to Kohli and Team Director Ravi Shastri to decide on whether India will go with four or five bowlers. If they go with five bowlers, the toss-up will be between speedster Varun Aaron and leg-spinner Karn Sharma.
