Indian team leaves for Kualalumpur

Chennai, Sep 9 (UNI) Indian cricket team left for Kualalumpur here tonight to participate in the tri series against Australia and West Indies from September 12.

The team, which arrived here from Bangalore two days ago after rolling camp, played two practice matches at the M A Chidambaram stadium here yesterday and today.

The series comes soon after the tri series in Colombo earlier between India, South Africa and Sri Lanka, which was abandoned following a bomb explosion near the hotel where the teams were put up.

The Malaysian tri-series is also part of India's preparation for the ICC Champions Trophy later this month and the 2007 World Cup.
