India captain Hardik Pandya has slammed the West Indies Cricket Board (CWI) for the lack of basic facilities during the recent ODI series.
Hardik Pandya said that the players were “sleep-deprived” after a late-night flight from Trinidad to Barbados and that they had to deal with a number of other issues, including poor food and accommodation.
India Captain Calls Out West Indies Cricket Board for Poor Hospitality
“We don’t ask for luxury but we need some basic necessities taken care of,” Pandya said. “We were sleep-deprived after the flight, and the food was not good. We had to stay in a hotel that was not up to standard.”
“It’s not about us, it’s about the future of West Indies cricket. If you want to improve the standard of cricket, you need to improve the facilities for the players.”
The CWI has issued a statement apologizing for the “hiccups” that the Indian team experienced.
“We regret the inconvenience caused to the Indian team during their recent tour of the West Indies,” the statement said. “We have taken steps to address the issues raised by the team, and we are committed to providing the best possible facilities for all visiting teams.”
The controversy has reignited the debate about the state of cricket in the West Indies. The region has produced some of the greatest cricketers of all time, but it has struggled in recent years.
The West Indies have not won a major ICC tournament since 2004, and they are currently ranked ninth in the world in ODI cricket.
Some experts believe that the lack of basic facilities is one of the reasons why the West Indies have not been able to compete at the highest level.
“The West Indies Cricket Board needs to invest in facilities if they want to improve the standard of cricket in the region,” said former West Indies batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul. “The players need to be able to train and play in good conditions if they are going to be successful.”
The controversy is a reminder of the challenges that the West Indies Cricket Board faces. The region has a rich cricketing history, but it needs to invest in facilities and infrastructure if it wants to compete at the highest level.
