Indian players' laundry bills problem solved: Diwadkar
6 June 2001
The touring Indian cricket team's laundry bills problem has been
solved on the eve of the first Test against Zimbabwe.
Board President AC Muthiah had a lengthy discussion with the players
on Tuesday and the problem has been solved "once and for all," BCCI
executive Secretary Sharad Diwadkar told PTI in Mumbai on Wednesday.
However, Diwadkar did not specify how the problem was sorted out and
only said the players have been asked by Muthiah to concentrate on the
Test match starting on Thursday at Bulawayo.
Soon after reaching Zimbabwe, the team had complained of insufficient
daily allowance provided to them by the Board. An allowance of $32
(approximately $2000 Zimbabwe) was considered too inadequate by the
players specially due the fact that laundry charges are very high in
that country.
