Xtra Time Web Desk: Rohit Sharma & co did not practice ahead of Netherlands game in Sydney on Thursday. It is learnt that the Men in Blue was offered to practice in Blacktown which is in the suburbs of Sydney. The team management decided against training as the venue is 42 kms away from the hotel. The Indian team is staying in Hyatt hotel which is near the Darling Harbour and Blacktown is 42 kms away from the hotel.
It is the same venue where the Indian team trained while in quarantine during the tour to Australia in 2020.
Meanwhile the food offered to the Indian team is also not to the liking of the players. Rohit and his boys were not given hot food and they have also told ICC that food provided after the practice session in Sydney was cold and not good.
The Indian cricket team was reportedly not happy with the after-practice menu. The Indian players were offered only cold sandwiches.
Notably, the menu on practice days is almost the same for all teams. India had an optional training session on Tuesday. The post-practice menu reportedly included custom sandwiches along with fruits and falafel.
India is scheduled to play its second match of the tournament against the Netherlands on October 27 at the Sydney Cricket Stadium. In their first match played on Sunday, India defeated Pakistan by four wickets.
