Before they begin their campaign against South Africa on June 5, they will lock horns with Kane Williamson led New Zealand ina warm-up match on Saturday at the Kennington Oval in London. Meanwhile, India had a major blow as all-rounder Vijay Shankar sustained an injury during the practice session on Friday. While batting in the nets, all-rounder Vijay Shankar was hit in the forearm during a training session on Friday. After copping the blow, Shankar was then attended by the team physio.
