Hardik Pandya blames WI Board for failing to look after the ‘basic necessities’ India needed

The Indian team arrived in West Indies for a long tour, consisting of 2 Tests, 3 ODIs and 5 T20Is.

India's stand-in skipper Hardik Pandya wasn't a happy man despite the team winning the ODI series 2-1. Speaking at the post-match presentation ceremony, Hardik didn't flinch as he criticized the West Indies board for failing to manage even the 'basic necessities' of Indian cricketers. Hardik said that while the team doesn't want luxuries, he is hopeful of the 'basics' to be taken care of when they tour the Caribbean side the next time. 

The Indian team arrived in West Indies for a long tour, consisting of 2 Tests, 3 ODIs and 5 T20Is. The T20 assignment is yet to begin but Hardik couldn't hold his frustration at how poor things were managed by the Windies board.

"This was one of the nicest grounds we have played. Things can be better when we come to West Indies next time. Things like travel, hopefully the West Indies cricket board can take note and ensure that there are no hiccups. We don't ask for luxury but we need some basic necessities taken care of. [On Rohit's part in the series win] Rohit can have the full (trophy)," Pandya said at the presentation ceremony.
