West Indies board slammed over poor facilities

TAROUBA: Expressing his disappointment with West Indies cricket board, Hardik Pandya lamented the absence of basic facilities during India’s ongoing tour of the Caribbean.

The all-rounder, who led India to a 2-1 ODI series victory as stand-in captain during Rohit Sharma’s absence, urged West Indian cricket administrators to improve arrangements promptly.

“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,” Hardik said after the game at the Brian Lara Stadium.

“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,” he further added

The Indian players had earlier expressed their displeasure to Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) after their late-night flight from Trinidad to Barbados got delayed by close to four hours, leaving them sleep-deprived ahead of the opening match of the ODI series.
