Jofra Archer (cut arm), Brydon Cars (toe finger), Jamie Overton (composite) and Jamie Smith (calf) played the blacks.
McCullum men trained six times in India in the middle of a long journey between a place, but they didn’t do so before the second and third Zada during a tour where they regularly took place against Spin.
The main coach said, “We did a lot of training. We had injuries in the camp, so we supported the boys a little to make sure we had a Fit team.
“We have three training sessions in Pakistan [before the Champions Trophy starts].
“The guys came from a lot of crickets, and the guys are freshly important, especially when you have injuries.
“We hope that in Pakistan we will have a completely fit team to choose and look forward to the fresh challenge. It was a heavy lesson, but we hope it was a great preparation for the tournament.”
Will Duckett be suitable for the champion trophy?

“With Brydon, we hope that his toe has healed by then and has been available for the first game. Overton feels ok, he felt a little tight after the last game, but he should be fine for the first. Jofra should be available. These are good news. “
On the prospects of trophy in England, McCullum added: “You have to make sure you keep that belief in your side and I certainly believe in us.

“We hope that maybe a fresh look on different surfaces in a different environment could provide a few more answers for us. But I still believe that our boys are good spin players.”
