Former India opener Virender Sehwag has reacted to the reports of Team India being unhappy about the food they were offered in Sydney. Without naming anyone, Sehwag took a subtle dig at the hospitality of the western countries and said India are currently ‘way ahead’ of most of them when it comes to hospitality.
“Gone are the days when one used to think that the Western countries offer so good hospitality. India are way ahead of most western countries when it comes to providing hospitality of the highest standards, Sehwag tweeted.
BCCI reported to ICC that the food offered to its players in Australia are not proper. The richest cricket board reportedly said that players were given cold food in breakfast.
“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 said..
“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.
India set to take on the Netherlands on Thursday. The Rohit Sharma-led team beat Pakistan in cricket’s one of the most remembered game in their T20 World Cup opener.
