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.
