According to the recent developments in cricket, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has decided to travel with a private chef for the team for the Pakistan tour to avoid mishaps like ‘indigestion’ and ‘poor quality food’.
Following a couple of complaints when England last voyage Pakistan, the ECB is settling for zero risk while prioritizing players’ health. As per the reports, multiple English players fell ill when they visited the cricket-loving nation for the seven-match T20I series. Specifically, Pakistan-born English cricketer Moeen Ali complained of the poor-quality food.
Seeking numerous complaints, the ECB has taken the decision to add Omer Meziane to their support staff for the Pakistan tour for a three-match Test series. The man has previously worked with the England Football team in the Fifa World Cup.
It is pertinent to mention here that the series is all set to begin by December 1st and will end on the 21st of the month. The first Test, as scheduled, will be played at Rawalpindi cricket ground, whereas the action will move to Multan for the next match. Karachi’s National Stadium will see the curtains falling for the three-match series.
