Bowlers' camp in Mysore

Bangalore: The Infosys campus in Mysore is all set to host the five-day bowlers' camp from June 4.

To ensure that everything is in order, bowling coach Venkatesh Prasad, along with trainer Gregory King, visited the campus on Saturday. According to reliable sources, the duo is pleased with the infrastructure.

The IT major's Mysore facility has earlier hosted a Ranji Trophy match besides one-dayers between the Indian and Australian women's cricket teams. The camp is expected to feature 14 bowlers ranging from the experienced Anil Kumble to the rookie Pragyan Ojha, Hyderabad's left-arm spinner.

However, with Zaheer Khan and Harbhajan Singh figuring in the Asian XI for the Afro-Asia Cup three-match one-day series commencing at Bangalore on June 6 followed by two matches in Chennai, there is no guarantee about the duo's presence at the camp. S. Sreesanth also might miss the opening phase of the camp, as he is part of the Asian XI for the Twenty20 game against Africa on June 5.

Kohli stars

Virat Kohli slammed 279 (280b, 37x4, 5x6) and powered ZCA North to 642 for four in 145 overs against All-India Universities (AIU) in a Col. Hemu Adhikari Trophy NCA inter-academy tournament match in progress at the RSI Ground here on Saturday.

The scores: ZCA North 642 for four in 145 overs (Virat Kohli 279, Nitin Saini 128, Taruwar Kohli 76, Tejasvi Yadav 67, R. Bhaskar 55) vs AIU 140 for three in 34 overs (Thalaivan 71).

ZCA West 351 in 105 overs (Harshad Khadiwala 113, Arpit Vasavda 75, Mohd. Khalid six for 56) vs ZCA Central 188 in 79.2 overs (Ankit Tiwari 45, Iqbal Abdullah six for 83, Ravindra Jadeja four for 21).
