NEW DELHI: Royal Challengers Bangalore‘s (RCB) Director of Cricket, Mike Hesson, has said that the team’s training camp will begin on March 29 for the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).
RCB on Wednesday shared a video on Twitter in which Hesson revealed the date on which the camp will commence.
The IPL Governing Council, earlier this month, announced the schedule for the league, to be held in India across six venues from April 9.

Defending champions Mumbai Indians will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Chennai in the tournament opener.
Hesson also said that AB de Villiers will arrive on March 28. “We have got players arriving all the way through till April 1. Finn Allen will be playing in T20I in New Zealand on April 1 and then he will come the day after… ABD arrives on 28,” he said.
Hesson also said: “It is very different than the last year where we had everybody together for a long period of time on the back of a period where the guys had not trained or played. So, this time it is different, we got players playing international cricket over here and overseas and domestic cricket up until a hand full of days ago. So, we had to prepare in slightly different ways.”
The final of the 14th edition of the tournament will be played on May 30 at the Narendra Modi Stadium. Playoffs will also be played at the same venue. One of the highlights of this edition of the IPL will be the fact that all matches will be played at neutral venues, no team will play at their home venue. All teams will play at 4 out of 6 venues during the league stage.
