Rohit Sharma, Rahul Dravid miffed with 'average' practice facilities in New York for T20 World Cup; ICC responds: Report
Hindustan TimesBarring Virat Kohli, who only left for New York late Thursday evening, all members of India's T20 World Cup squad had already assembled for the big tournament which begins from June 1 onwards. Ahead of the start of the World Cup, those 14 players, along with the ones named in the reserves list, had their first practice session in Cantiague Park in New York on Wednesday afternoon. Rohit Sharma and Rahul Dravid during a training session for T20 World Cup India will begin their campaign in the T20 World Cup on June 5 at against Ireland at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. What remains a major concern for the Indian team is that the makeshift venue in New York will remain their primary training ground for the better part of the league stage given that the Rohit-led side will play three group-stage matches in the city - against Ireland, Pakistan and co-hosts USA - before moving to Florid for their final match against Canada.
