Rohit Sharma, Rahul Dravid miffed with 'average' practice facilities in New York for T20 World Cup; ICC responds: Report

Key Points

Not just the training facility, the Indian team was also left disgruntled at the arrangements for food at the practice venue for the T20 World Cup..

Barring Virat Kohli, who only left for New York late Thursday evening, all members of India's T20 World Cup squad had already assembled for the big tournament which begins from June 1 onwards..

Ahead of the start of the World Cup, those 14 players, along with the ones named in the reserves list, had their first practice session in Cantiague Park in New York on Wednesday afternoon..

In a bid to gear up for the event, given that India last played a T20I match in January earlier this year, in the home series against Afghanistan, the players, fresh from their respective campaigns in the recently-concluded IPL 2024 tournament, attended the training session on Wednesday where they used three of the six drop-in pitches available at the venue..

What remains a major concern for the Indian team is that the makeshift venue in New York will remain their primary training ground for the better part of the league stage given that the Rohit-led side will play three group-stage matches in the city - against Ireland, Pakistan and co-hosts USA - before moving to Florid for their final match against Canada..
