India’s team management issues specific instructions to the NCC ground staff to prepare a practice pitch that matches the conditions used in the warm-up match against a Sri Lanka XI ahead of upcoming Sri Lanka tests.
The reporting focuses on how the team tries to make training as representative as possible of match-day circumstances. NDTV says the goal is to ensure the pitch used during practice is in similar condition to the one the players faced earlier, suggesting attention to surface behaviour and readiness. While details beyond this preparation step are limited in the provided sources, the emphasis is on pitch preparation and simulation of local conditions rather than on playing plans or selection decisions.
Overall, the outlets agree on the same core point: India takes steps with ground staff to align practice conditions with those expected for the series against Sri Lanka, with the instructions tied directly to replicating the earlier warm-up pitch conditions.
