Rohit Sharma, the regular vice-captain of India in limited-overs, who is all set to lead Team India in the upcoming three-match T20I series against Bangladesh, said on Thursday that he hasn’t faced any issue with the Delhi weather so far after constant debate on whether the game should be played there or not on Sunday.

“I have just landed and haven’t had time to assess. As far as I know the game is to be played on 3rd and will be played. We didn’t have any problem when we played the Test match here (against Sri Lanka). We are not aware of the exact discussion and I haven’t had any problem,” Rohit Sharma said at an event here.

IANS had earlier said that with the Air Quality Index (AQI) not showing any signs of improvement in Delhi, the Indian players might not train outside at the stadium and spend more time at the gym before the first T20I.

“The match shouldn’t be a major problem as it is a night match, but the issue is the training (set for the mornings) and you could see optional training sessions on both the days if the weather doesn’t improve. This isn’t a fresh season and the players have already been playing so some gym sessions should be enough to get them up and running after the Diwali break. And even if you have the senior players coming in on Saturday — eve of the game — it could be just to gauge the playing conditions. But again, all that depends on the weather conditions,” the source said.

“We have been keeping a check on the weather forecast and while the sun didn’t come out on Tuesday, it is showing sunny on Friday, so in that case, training shouldn’t be a problem. Once the sun comes out, things will hopefully be sorted out and in that scenario, we will have full training sessions,” the source further added.
