Men’s ODI WC: ICC Says Situation Being Assessed For Sri Lanka-Bangladesh Game Due To Air Pollution In New Delhi
With Sri Lanka: With Sri Lanka cancelling their practice session at the Arun Jaitley Stadium here on Saturday due to air pollution, just a day after Bangladesh cancelled its practice session on Friday evening due to the same reason, a spokesperson from the International Cricket Council (ICC) said the situation for the league match between the two teams on Monday is being currently assessed.
New Delhi has been under heavy smog for the last five days, caused by an unprecedented spike in the Air Quality Level (AQI) of the national capital. The city's AQI went from 351 on Thursday morning to 471 on Friday morning, hitting the severe category.
It forced the schools to be closed for two days and non-essential construction work being banned, along with restrictions on vehicular movement. On Saturday morning, the AQI level was recorded at 413, with the overall air quality still at severe level. The city is scheduled to host its last ODI World Cup game between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh on Monday.
