Men’s ODI WC: Sri Lanka Cancel Practice Session In New Delhi Due To Air Pollution
Arun Jaitley Stadium: Sri Lanka have cancelled their practice session at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Saturday due to air pollution. It comes just a day after Bangladesh cancelled its practice session on Friday evening due to the same reason.
Sri Lanka, the 1996 champions, were scheduled to practice at the Arun Jaitley Stadium from 2pm to 5pm on Saturday in preparation for their Men’s ODI World Cup clash against Bangladesh on Monday. But with smoky haze, AQI levels going past 400-mark and air quality deteriorating, they chose to cancel their practice session.
Many players from the Sri Lankan team have already experienced playing cricket in polluted air of New Delhi when they played a Test match against India at this venue in December 2017. That time saw five players fielding with masks on, with several of them receiving medical attention for respiratory problems and vomited in the dressing room.
