Hardik Pandya slams West Indies board: Don’t need luxury but basic facilities missing
The Indian cricket team is not happy with the facilities provided by the West Indies board during their current Caribbean tour. This was made clear by India’s stand-in captain Hardik Pandya after Team India won the third ODI to clinch the series 2-1. In the presentation ceremony, Pandya said that took up the issue of facilities provided to Indian players during their current tour.

“We don’t ask for luxury but we need some basic necessities taken care of. 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,” Pandya said.

The issue of facilities provided to Indian players were earlier in the spotlight ahead the start of the ODI series. Indian cricketers had 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.

“I think it’s time for West Indies Cricket to take note of it and make sure that when a team travels… Other than that, really enjoyed coming here and playing some good cricket,” Pandya said.

Hardik Pandya was leading the team after Rohit Sharma was rested for the match. India thrashed the West Indies by 200 runs in the third ODI with Pandya himself making an unbeaten 52-ball 70.

Batting first, India made an imposing 351 for five with Shubman Gill striking 85 off 92 balls and Ishan Kishan scoring 77 off 64 balls. Sanju Samson contributed with the bat making 51 off 41 balls.West Indies were skittled out for 151 in only 35.3 overs, with Shardul Thakur and Mukesh Kumar inflicting maximum damage on the hosts by taking 4 wickets and 3 wickets respectively. India and West Indies will clash in a five-match T20 series beginning Thursday. (With Agency Inputs)
