Sunrisers Hyderabad will begin their practise sessions from Saturday.

Speaking at the session, the former India batsman welcomed the team members, some of who were in the hotel in Dubai, while others like the skipper David Warner was away for an international assignment.

Laxman also acknowledged that there are challenges to playing in the current scenario, but said that the players would be looking forward to it.

“I think it is going to be a different kind of challenge [playing away from Hyderabad] but ultimately I am sure we all will be looking forward to playing the game that we love so much,” VVS Laxman said.

‘Hope to be on the field very soon’

The batsman was also hopeful that the team will be able to get onto the field very soon.

“Hopefully from the 29th [August] onwards we will be back on the cricket ground, practising and once the tournament starts we will kick off with the matches,” he told the squad.

He welcomed the other coaches including the Head Coach Trevor Bayliss and Assistant Coach Brad Haddin and informed the squad members about the other staff who will be involved with the team for IPL 2020.
