The goal today is to get some time on the feet and break sweat here in Perth," Desai was quoted as saying in the BCCI video.
"The upcoming 8 to 10 days are very crucial for us. We cannot thank team management and BCCI enough to get these 8 days because we are going to gradually build ourselves both physically and also on skills front."
Desaid added that the plan of the training regime will be to break the monotony of the bilateral series back home.
"The goal in Perth is to get some time on these pitches as well as break the monotony of playing the back to back bilateral series in India. This will a good time for the group to unwind as well as build on specific skillset that is required. That's the overall plan."
