"And we are off! See you soon, UAE," KKR had tweeted, while Kings XI Punjab pacer Mohammed Shami had shared a picture of himself in a flight and wrote: "Apne Munde, off to Dubai."
Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will reach Dubai on Friday. "RCB team will reach Dubai on August 21 and start a 3-week camp with Indian and International Players in collaboration with Mike Hesson and Simon Katich from August 29 onwards," the franchise had said in a statement.
