Rohit Sharma and Co forced to look for new gym in New York: Reports
In a recent development coming in, team India was forced to hunt for a new gym in New York amidst their T20 World Cup 2024 campaign, News18 have reported.
The reason for this is that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) were not pleased with the gym quality at the hotel where Rohit Sharma and Co are residing. To amend the situation, the BCCI has now bought gym membership at a nearby facility.
A source privy to the developments revealed, “Yes, the team doesn’t use the hotel gym and they have a membership of a gym nearby and everyone uses that. It is a very popular gym chain.”
The report further mentioned that the management of Team India is dissatisfied with the "average facilities" at Cantiague Park, which the International Cricket Council (ICC) has designated as an official practice area featuring six drop-in pitches.
The BCCI was also not content with the practice arrangements of the venue, although they have not lodged an official complaint yet.
Additionally, there were no provisions for refreshments for the media at Cantiague Park, prompting the Indian cricket board to supply food for everyone covering the sessions prior to the team's tournament opener against Ireland.
