Bangladesh and Sri Lanka Cancel Training Due to Health-Threatening Smog in New Delhi

The teams from Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, due to meet on Monday in the Indian capital, have canceled training due to the health-threatening smog.

– We are worried. We try to minimize the time outdoors as much as possible, but we have to exercise sometimes. We try to be careful and think long-term about what it might mean to train under these conditions and players with asthma refrained from training, says Bangladesh national team captain Chandika Haturusingha.

– Air quality affects both teams. It’s not ideal but we have no other choice. We have to play the game in these conditions.

The organizer has banned fireworks in connection with the match so as not to pollute the air further.

There is often a lot of air pollution in New Delhi at this time of the year. In 2017, Sri Lanka played a match against India, in New Delhi, wearing face masks.
