Team India arrives in Colombo

The Indian cricket team arrived at the Bandaranaike International Airport here this afternoon to take part in the tri-nation Compaq Cup one-day international tournament.

The 15-member Indian team arrived here on board an Air India flight from Bangalore after their scheduled Jet Airways flight got cancelled due to the on-going pilots' strike of the private airline.

Air India operated a special flight from Chennai at 1100hrs today to reach Bangalore from where it picked up the Indian cricketers, including skipper Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Harbhajan Singh and RP Singh, who were busy playing for the Air India team in the BCCI corporate trophy.
