Srinagar: India cricket team stand in skipper Hardik Pandya has slammed West Indies Cricket board for not providing basic facilities to Team India during the tour.
India beat West Indies by 200 runs in the 3rd ODI to seal the series 2-1.
In the post-match presentation Hardik Pandya questioned the arrangements made by the West Indies Cricket Board during their tour.
“This was one of the nicest grounds we have played. Things can be better when we come to West Indies next time. From travelling to managing a lot of things. Last year also, some hiccups happened. I think it’s time for West Indies Cricket to take note of it and make sure that when a team travels… We don’t ask for luxury but we need some basic necessities taken care of. Other than that, really enjoyed coming here and playing some good cricket,” Hardik Pandya said on Tuesday.
The Indian cricketers had earlier expressed their displeasure to BCCI after their late-night flight from Trinidad to Barbados got delayed by close to four hours, leaving them sleep-deprived ahead of the ODI series opener. The senior cricketers even requested the BCCI not to keep late-night flights when there is very little gap between matches.
Hardik will lead in the five-match T20I series against the West Indies starting Thursday at the same venue.
