The practice camp of the Jammu and Kashmir cricket team is well and truly underway in Baroda on Friday ahead of the kick start of this year's Ranji Trophy season.
The players are currently training at the Moti Bagh grounds of Vadodara. Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has been appointed as the coach of the Jammu and Kashmir cricket team with 30 players practicing in Vadodara for the next 10 days under his supervision.
Irfan will be serving the dual role of mentor-cum-coach of the side.
"There are 27 boys who have assembled in Jammu, half from Jammu and half from Kashmir. We had a meeting and decided we would give an advertisement on television, on a local Kashmiri channel."
"So from there, the boys assembled in Jammu and the camp will be held in Baroda," Irfan told during an interview on Thursday.
With the removal of Article 370 from Kashmir, the team of Jammu was illegible to come down to Vadodara for practice.
