Sri Lanka’s players were surprisingly mocked for wearing face-masks in the Test match in Delhi. And it was not only the Lankans who were affected by the pollution for even Mohamed Shami ended up retching on the ground. “At best of times, the AQI in Delhi has not been known to be healthy. The lungs of Sri Lankans have been exposed to good quality air all their lives because the AQI in their country is excellent. Should it surprise anybody they found breathing the toxic Delhi air difficult?’’In my opinion, the problem needs to be delinked from cricket else it is missing the woods for the trees.
