British Prime Minister In India

Chillaxing? I like to go to bed early: PM reveals how he copes with pressure at work (and he certainly wasn't caught napping on the cricket field) Prime Minister said he would be 'hopeless' if he became 'exhausted' on job Mr Cameron said he tries to play tennis and go for a run once every week Said he likes to 'delegate' and have a team that can 'get things done for you' PM played cricket in Mumbai at the Oval Maidan showing off his skills Announced plans to offer Indians a 'same-day' visa service to aid business Wants India to make it easier for British companies to do business there Current visa service can take more than three days to process applications By Tim Shipman In Mumbai PUBLISHED: 08:25 GMT, 18 February 2013 | UPDATED: 05:57 GMT, 19 February 2013 David Cameron has renewed speculation about his tendency to ‘chillax’ on the job as he broke off his trade trip to India to play cricket. The Prime Minister began his visit with the biggest business delegation in history by revealing that he stays sane by having a good night’s sleep and employing good staff to do the work for him. He also claimed he would be watching Bollywood films on the flight out. The Prime Minister's cricketing sojourn at Mumbai's Oval Maidan came just hours after he confessed he has no time for the workaholic habits of his predecessors Lights out: He said that the one of the keys to his success is trying not to go to bed too late But he had been in Mumbai - the capital of Indian commerce - for just seven hours before he sloped off to Mumbai’s famous Oval Maidan, a vast square where several games are played at once. The cricket-loving Prime Minister wielded the bat against some ferocious deliveries from local youngsters who flock to the recreation ground in the centre of the city to play.   After a few lusty blows, Mr Cameron’s middle stump was removed by a young bowler named Sachin - named after Mr Cameron’s own cricketing hero Sachin Tendulkar, the legendary cricketer who once gave Mr Cameron a signed bat. Mr Cameron’s technique won approving comments from members of the England women’s squad, who have been helping train boys and girls through the ECB-backed Global Cricket School while in town for the World Cup. Work and play: The PM told an audience at the headquarters of Unilever in Mumbai that he would be 'hopeless' if he allowed himself to become 'exhausted and fried mentally' by overwork ‘He’s got used the rough surface very quickly,’ said former England captain Clare Connor, adding ‘that’s a brilliant cover drive’, just before Mr Cameron almost got himself out. School boss Sachin Bajaj said: ‘The PM was very chilled out, he was all smiles and very relaxed. ‘He said he hadn’t had a hit for a long time but he got going and hit a few good cover drives.’ The Prime Minister’s cricketing sojourn came just hours after he confessed he has no time for the workaholic habits of his predecessors Margaret Thatcher and Gordon Brown. Lady Thatcher famously survived on four hours a night during her premiership. The Prime Minister laid a wreath at the memorial to commemorate the policemen who were killed in the terrorist attacks of November 2008, in Mumbai Mr Cameron called on India to further open up to foreign investment and said he wanted the two countries to have a 'special relationship' But Mr Cameron told an audience at the headquarters of Unilever in Mumbai that he would be 'hopeless' if he allowed himself to become 'exhausted and fried mentally' by overwork. Asked how he copes with the job, Mr Cameron said: ‘In terms of how I try to keep body and soul together, I try to stay a little bit fit. ‘So I try to go for a run a week, I try to play a game of tennis every week and I try not to go to bed too late. ‘Like all these things, that doesn’t always work, but the most important thing is to have a very good team around you to make sure you can delegate and have a team you can work with and get things done for you.’ David Cameron arrived in India with what he called Britain's biggest ever overseas business delegation for a three-day visit Prime Minister David Cameron paid his respects to the policemen who were killed in the terrorist attacks of November 2008 David Cameron announced the new visa service and relaxed immigration riles as he speaks n Mumbai, India David Cameron plays cricket with Mumbai children { Click here } The Prime Minister took a break from his trade mission to India to play cricket with Mumbai children in a local park.
