South African Team Reached in Nagpur

Nagpur: The South African cricket team arrived on Sunday for a two-day practice match followed by the first Test of the two-match series against India.

The Proteas, who arrived in the wee hours in Mumbai, reached here by a morning flight and were accommodated in a luxury Hotel on busy Wardha road.

The visitors will commence their short tour with a two-day warm-up game beginning February 2 against the Board President's XI led by Mumbai middle-order batsman Rohit Sharma.

This would be followed by two Tests - Nagpur (February 6-10) and Kolkata (February 14-18) - and three One-dayers in Jaipur (February 21), Kanpur (February 24) and Ahmedabad (February 27).

While the practice match would be held at old Vidarbha Cricket Association (VCA) stadium, the Test will be held at VCA's new stadium in Jamtha, about 15 kms from Nagpur.

The Graeme Smith-led squad will have net practise on Monday followed by a press briefing in the evening.

They are likely to turn up at the old VCA stadium later on Sunday for some practice.

The Proteas have come here after controversies over the resignation of coach Mickey Arthur and sacking of selection panel headed by Mike Procter.

Former South African fast bowler Corrie van Zyl has taken over as the interim coach.
