India vs England 2nd Test: The India cricket team pacers drew plenty of attention at the penultimate net session ahead of the second Test against England at Edgbaston as the speedsters were seen practising with two-coloured balls to shed the "filthy" habits of white-ball cricket.

As per news agency PTI, Jasprit Bumrah was seen holding a red and white ball at the start of the session and so were the other members of the Indian pace battery.

It is common practice to use multi-coloured balls and to be specific, the Indian pacers have been using them since the start of the English summer.

One reason for this is that the fast bowlers arrived in England after a lengthy white-ball stint, including the Champions Trophy and the subsequent Indian Premier League.

India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate said training with the two-coloured balls helps in eliminating white ball tendencies from the red ball game.

"It's not a new thing. All the ball manufacturers make those balls. We talk about detoxing the bowlers, just getting the very basics right. And that's the easiest way to give you an indication. Guys have come out of a long IPL season and the filthy habits of that cricket," said Doeschate in a pre-match press conference.

"We don't want that creeping into Test cricket. So Morne (Morkel) and the bowlers just use that tool to make sure the basic fundamentals are in place. We've been using it for the last two weeks," he added.
