"It's been great to get the squad together and start working on our plans for the season," Batty said. “We have some fresh faces in the team, so it will be exciting to see them blend with our philosophy. Goa's weather is perfect for preparations. The remaining players will join in a couple of days, and we'll begin training in full swing with the complete squad before heading to Mumbai to start our season and take it match by match toward our objectives,” he added.

Delhi Capitals CEO Sunil Gupta said that the team values continuity and a strong team culture after finishing runners-up in the last three seasons. He said the camp helps players connect with each other, especially new members and added that Goa is an ideal place to begin preparations.

"From a franchise perspective, players love coming back to Delhi Capitals; it's like a family," he said.

“The pre-season camp is where the fun and serious work begins. It's a great opportunity for players to bond, especially with new faces in the squad, and Goa is one of the best locations to set the tone. Our consistency over the past seasons has helped us reach three consecutive finals, and the aim is to continue that momentum this year,” he added.
