Reports say Team India was unhappy with the practice facilities in Belfast before the first T20I against Ireland.
Reports say the practice wickets and training setup didn’t meet Team India’s standards, and the issue was raised with Cricket Ireland.
The Indian team management was unhappy that one practice pitch lacked a sightscreen behind the bowler, making it hard for batters to see the ball.
“Yes, there were some problems with the practice facilities, but the Indian team’s staff have informed the Irish officials,” a BCCI source said.
The concerns were shared with Cricket Ireland, and officials are expected to fix the issues before the match.
The two-match T20I series is important as India tries out new combinations and young players before a busy season.
Practice issues made headlines, but now everyone is watching to see if Team India can start the Ireland tour with a strong win.
