Amidst a gruelling schedule, the Men in Blue seemed to have decided to unwind and head out into the woods in Southampton before their opening clash against South Africa in the 2019 World Cup on June 5. 

The Indian captain took to Instagram to post a picture of him and his fellow teammates in camouflage clothing, enjoying a session of paintball. The Indian skipper's caption wrote - 'Fun times with the boys'

The BCCI's official Twitter handle also uploaded a few pics from their outing in the woods. 

Earlier, Team India were handed a major boost as ll-rounder Kedar Jadhav was seen back in the nets, batting and bowling, days ahead of India's clash against South Africa. 

There were big doubts about the all-rounder making it to England, but after he was given the green light by the BCCI, Jadhav joined the squad just in time for the World Cup. The 34-year old injured his shoulder while fielding during the 2019 IPL match between Chennai Super Kings and Kings XI Punjab. 

Due to precautionary measures, Jadhav was not involved in India's warm-up matches against New Zealand (L) and Bangladesh (W). Even Vijay Shankar was ruled out from the first warm-up match against New Zealand after he injured his wrist during a net session before facing the Kiwis. The test concluded that he had no fracture and was available for the second warm-up match against Bangladesh which he played. 

The right-hander took to Instagram to upload videos of him bowling and batting. Take a look.
