A London-bound Air India flight, AI171, crashed shortly after taking off from Ahmedabad. The Boeing 787-8 was carrying 242 people, including two pilots and ten cabin crew members. According to Reuters, it is the deadliest aviation tragedy across the world in the past ten years.
Indian players took part in a training session on the eve of the four-day intra-squad match in Beckenham, set to begin Friday. Only batters hit the nets, while fast bowlers from both the senior and A squads skipped practice.
However, the atmosphere remained subdued following news of a devastating plane crash in Ahmedabad. The usual chatter and laughter were absent as players maintained a quiet, professional demeanor.
