Domestic cricketers complain of being served substandard food

MUMBAI: Some of the cricketers in quarantine ahead of the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy here are complaining of not being served quality food fit for cricketers despite being stationed in a five-star hotel.

The league phase of the tournament, which begins on January 10, will be held across six cities. The Elite Group E's six teams comprising Mumbai, Delhi, Andhra, Kerala, Puducherry and Haryana will play their games in Mumbai's two grounds, Wankhede Stadium and Bandra Kurla Complex.

While Mumbai, Delhi and Kerala have been stationed at the Trident Hotel, Haryana, Kerala and Puducherry are in Sofitel Mumbai BKC.

"The food has been really bad. We were given something like a railway coach thali. The food is sometimes cold, not fresh and unfit for cricketers. Many of the players are not even eating it. We have lodged a complaint about the food. None of the teams is entirely happy," a player told IANS on condition of anonymity about the food served to cricketers at The Trident. IANS
