The Indian team is preparing for the Champions Trophy in Dubai with full dedication. Two separate practice sessions are being held in the day and night so that the players get equal opportunity to practice under floodlights. Some selected local bowlers are also being called for preparation at the nets. In this series, a left-arm fast bowler was seen at the Indian nets who troubled every batsman, especially the Indian captain was his target.

The name of this fast bowler playing from Ajman Club is Awais Ahmed who is considered to be a fast bowler in Dubai's local cricket and is in the news for his fast yorker and slower one. For this reason, his trainer Zakir Khan was requested and called to the Nets and when Awais came to the Nets, everyone became his fan.
Rohit said to be careful baba.
When the top order batsmen came out to bat in the nets of India, they must have thought that the local bowlers had come for practice, but as soon as Awais Ahmed measured the run by bowling left arm around the wicket and bowled his first ball to Rohit, it was felt at that very moment that he has not come for nets but to test the batsmen. Awais Ahmed, who is known in Dubai for his fast yorkers and slower balls, constantly troubled Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. Seeing the nets, it seemed as if a high-quality match was going on. After the practice session, both Rohit and Gill specially called Awais Ahmed and praised him. When Awais told Rohit that his heart's desire was fulfilled by bowling to him, Rohit said you wanted to break my leg and your inswing balls were great.
Preparation against Shaheen Shah and Mustafizur
India will play its first match in the Champions Trophy against Bangladesh which has a left-arm bowler like Mustafizur Rahman who enjoys bowling against India and his variations are a big challenge for everyone. Similarly, Pakistan has Shaheen Shah Afridi whose swing balls always create fear in the Indian team camp, that is why the Indian team management called Awais Ahmed to the nets, after playing his bowling the Indian team would have been able to prepare itself in a better way.
