Though India won the ODI series against hosts West Indies 2-1, stand-in skipper Hardik Pandya was not pleased.
In the post-match presentation ceremony, the phlegmatic all-rounder criticised the West Indies board for failing to manage even the ‘basic necessities’ of Indian cricketers.
As per Pandya, the Indian team doesn’t want luxury. However, he is hopeful of the ‘basics’ will be taken care of when they tour the Caribbean side the next time.
“ This was one of the nicest grounds we have played. Things can be better when we come to West Indies next time. Things like travel, hopefully the West Indies cricket board can take note and ensure that there are no hiccups. We don’t ask for luxury but we need some basic necessities taken care of,” said Pandya.
Notably, India is currently in a tong tour of West Indies. They have played a two-match Test series, three-match ODI series so far. The five-match T20 assignment is yet to begin. However, Pandya just couldn’t hold his frustration at how poor things were managed by the Windies board.
