Team India will take on England in the five-match Test series from next month and their preparation for the marquee series is going in full flow.

Taking to Twitter, BCCI shared a video from the training session, in which the Indian players can be seen honing their catching skills using an innovative method under the vigilant eyes of the coaching staff.

The players had to carry the ball, through seven passes, and drop it in a small circle marked inside the field. However, they weren’t allowed to make use of both their hands.

Also, they could catch with either hand but couldn’t pass the ball with the same hand.

“You have to run and catch the ball. It is a simple game. The hand with which you catch, you have to throw with the opposite hand," said a member of the team support staff in the video.

“After the seventh pass, the ball should land inside that area. The ball has to be kept in that area, you can drop it, place it there," he added.

Test specialist Cheteshwar Pujara explained it in the video, “You have to catch the ball with either hand and have to throw with the opposite hand and if you get touched you are out. You have to have seven passes and the ball has to drop in the middle [small circle]."

The five-match Test series between India and England is slated to get underway on August 4 at Trent Bridge. The series will also mark the start of the second edition of World Test Championship (WTC).
