The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has reportedly asked Cricket Australia (CA) to remove beef from the Indian squad’s menu when the team travels to Down Under for a two-month tour in November.

As per a report published in Mumbai Mirror, the request was made by an advance party from the Indian cricket board that travelled to Australia to inspect the venues ahead of the much-awaited Australia tour of India. The two-member party had gone to the island nation two weeks ago and asked for the inclusion of a clause in the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between BCCI and CA regarding the removal of beef from the menu.

“Players often complain about the blandness of food served in Australia,” a BCCI official was quoted as saying. “There are a few vegetarians in the team who really struggle at the grounds. The inspection team has also roped in an Indian restaurant in Australia to supply curries to the boys.”

Earlier, BCCI was criticised by Indian cricket fans during India’s tour of United Kingdom after the official Twitter handle of BCCI had posted a photo of the lunch menu at Lord’s.

 

Virat Kohli-led Indian team will travel to Australia later in this month for three T20Is, four Tests, and three ODIs against Australia from November 21 to January 18.
