🚨🇬🇧😷🇮🇳 - England says its Cricket team players are struggling to breathe due to the air pollution in India.
Central Delhi, where England played their third match against Afghanistan on 15 October, regularly has an AQI above 300 – a level rated as “hazardous” by the World Health Organisation (WHO).
"It felt like quite a hazy day, wasn’t it? And you could definitely see that from one side of the ground looking back towards the sun, it was a lot harder visually as well than it was on the other side of the ground. Whether it was air quality or what, it was definitely an experience I’ve not had before." - says England cricket team captain Joe Root.
