Win Projections to be updated soon
The Bangladesh cricket team, currently in Delhi for their upcoming World Cup match against Sri Lanka on November 6, has opted to cancel their training session in the city. The decision was prompted by the alarming rise in air pollution levels, which have led to an air emergency declaration in Delhi.
Air Quality Index Crosses Critical Threshold
The air quality index (AQI) in various parts of Delhi soared past the 400 mark, signifying hazardous levels of air pollution. In response to this environmental crisis, the government of Delhi initiated measures such as the temporary closure of schools and restrictions on construction and vehicular traffic.
Team director Khaled Mahmud explained the rationale behind the cancellation of their training session. He mentioned that some players had already developed symptoms like coughing, indicating health risks. As a result, the team decided to forgo their Friday evening training session to ensure the well-being of the players.
Uncertainty Looms Over Rescheduled Match
At present, the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) have not engaged in discussions regarding the rescheduling of the Bangladesh-Sri Lanka fixture. The air pollution issue has raised questions about the match’s timing and location, although no official decisions have been made.
The health and safety of players take precedence in the lead-up to the Bangladesh-Sri Lanka World Cup match. As air pollution concerns persist in Delhi, the cricketing world awaits further developments, with the hope that a solution can be reached to ensure the well-being of the players while maintaining the integrity of the tournament.
