Liton Das Of Bangladesh Practices Wearing A Mask At Delhi

You won’t often see a player coming out to the field for a practice with a mask on his face. However, the International Stadium in Delhi Named Feroz Shah Kotla, which is termed as ”Iconic”, has witnessed such instances for a couple of times now. In the latest, it was Bangladesh’s Liton Das, who practised with a mask to his face.

Do you remember Sri Lanka cricketers playing the Test match in Delhi with a Mask on their face? The situation in Delhi still remains the same, as the air is being polluted on a regular basis because of the outlets from the vehicles and big industries in the state.

It was earlier reported that Rohit Sharma-led Team India is planning to train indoors in the lead-up to the 1st T20I. India are expected to train between 2 pm and 5 pm on November 1 and November 2 but both those sessions could turn into optional.

Amidst this, the BCCI President Sourav Ganguly confirmed that the 1^st T20I between India and Bangladesh at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi will go ahead as per schedule and the match will not be shifted to any other venue despite alarming air pollution level in the national capital.

Despite that, the cricket lovers in Delhi aren’t going to miss the clash, as the tickets have already been selling out quickly. A decent house is expected for the first T20I clash.
