Bangalore, July 26 (UNI) Mystery shrouding Team India's first three days of the week-long fitness camp was today unravelled with the Sri Lankan tri-series bound players reaching the Pegasus Centre for Excellence, 55 km from here, for a strenuous workout.

The 'Mission Secret,' to keep the media at bay and enable players concentrate on the camp, was in preparation for next month's tri-series in Sri Lanka with South Africa being the third team.
