Mumbai, July 13: Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) young batters Mukul Choudhary and Akshat Raghuwanshi have arrived in Manchester in England for a special off-season training camp on Monday.
The two players will train under LSG head coach Justin Langer and the team's strategic advisor, former New Zealand captain Kane Williamson.
LSG shared the news on social media and said, "New conditions. New challenges. New learnings. Mukul & Akshat have landed in Manchester for a training camp with Justin Langer and Kane Williamson."
Why Manchester?
Langer and Williamson are currently in England preparing for The Hundred tournament. They are coaching the Manchester Super Giants (MSG), a team captained by Aiden Markram. MSG is owned by the RPSG Group which is the same parent company that owns LSG.

The Goal of the Camp
