India-Pakistan clash on October 23 made the headlines all over the world. India beat their arch-rivals and the rise of Virat Kohli- the modern day batting giant was again on a display. After that famous win, Team India are now preparing for their clash against Netherlands on Thursday. But on Wednesday, BCCI allegedly reported that its players are unhappy with the ‘cold food and sandwiches’ they were offered after a practice session in Sydney.
“The food that was offered to Team India was not good. They were just given sandwiches and they have also told ICC that food provided after a practice session in Sydney was cold and not good,” a BCCI source was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
BCCI also complained to ICC on the matter.
For all these world events, International Cricket Council (ICC) is responsible for providing food and lodging during the T20 World Cup. While in bilateral series, it is the duty of the host association.
“It’s not like any boycott… Some players did pick up fruits and falafel but everyone wanted to have lunch and hence they had food going back to the hotel,” a BCCI official privy to the development told PTI.
“The problem is that the ICC isn’t providing any hot food after lunch. In a bilateral series, the host association is in charge of catering and they always provide hot Indian meals after a training session. But for ICC, the rule is the same for all countries,” the official further said.
“You can’t just have a cold sandwich (not even grilled) with avocado, tomato and cucumber after two hours of training. That is plain and simple inadequate nourishment,” he added.
