Hardik Pandya Slammed The West Indies Board

The Indian cricket team arrived in West Indies for a long multi-format series tour, consisting of 2 Tests, 3 ODIs and 5 T20Is. The T20 assignment is yet to start but Hardik couldn’t hold his frustration and revealed how the West Indies cricket board has failed to manage even the ‘basic necessities’ of Indian cricketers.

Speaking at the post-match presentation ceremony, Hardik didn’t mince his words as he criticized the West Indies board. He said:

“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. (On Rohit’s part in the series win) Rohit can have the full (trophy),”
