The Sri Lankan team, which complained about the travel obstacles and poor infrastructure arrangements in the T20 World Cup, also expressed its displeasure with the ICC over the schedule of the matches.
According to media reports, Sri Lankan team captain Venindu Hasaranga and player Mahesh Thiekshana termed the T20 World Cup schedule as “unfair” in a presentation after the defeat in the match against South Africa.
Team manager Mahinda Halangoda confirmed the letter to the ICC regarding the difficulties and said that our team is one of the two teams that had to travel to 4 different venues for 4 matches for the opening matches, which made us There is a problem.
The second is the Netherlands, who have to do the most trolling in the group matches, while the teams of India and South Africa will play three matches each at one venue.
Due to the day match against the Proteas, the Lincoln team had to leave the hotel at 7 in the morning and after the end of the match, they immediately finished the media activities and went to the airport where they will come to Bangladesh for the preparation of the next match in Dallas.
In this regard, Mahesh Thekshana said that it is all very unfair, after every match we have to travel, we have to wait for 8 hours for flights. “Due to travel logistics, we also had to cancel the training session in New York. Our hotel was an hour and 40 minutes away from the venue. We had to get up at 5 in the morning. I won’t name names, but some teams’ hotels are 14,” he said. Minutes are away while some teams are playing all their matches at one venue which is unfair.
“It’s a tough day for us, 4 matches at 4 different venues which is tough, we have no idea about the conditions,” said captain Wanindu Hasaranga.
