Xtra Time Web Desk: Team India captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Rahul Dravid are unhappy with the ICC for providing them with minimal training facilities.

The Indian team is currently practicing in New York City for what is going to be their first T20 game since January 17. Rohit Sharma and co. had played their last T20I during a mouthwatering clash against Afghanistan.

But just at the start of their initial practice sessions, the Indians met with disappointment. Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid were reportedly upset with the training facilities provided by ICC and USA Cricket. Dravid and Rohit both labeled the facilities as "Average". As we all know India are a powerhouse of Cricket. From training facilities to a complete infrastructure, the BCCI gets everything covered. But with the USA hosting such big countries for the first time, they were bound to face some troubles.

It is not disclosed what exactly Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid were unhappy about but it is assured that Cantiague Park will not receive 5 stars.

A trusted source even claimed that the Indian players didn't like the makeshift nature of Cricket in the USA. Rohit Sharma, after consultation with his head coach, has raised the team's concerns.

"Everything is makeshift – from pitches to other facilities. Safe to say everything is very average in nature. The team has raised their concerns." - a source said.

Another shocker revealed by the same source is that the players, after getting frustrated with the training facilities, were then left disgruntled with the food provided. India's start to life in the United States hasn't really started well as they are facing challenges with their food and their preparation for the World Cup.

But when the same was asked of the ICC, the Apex board declined to come across any complaints.
