Remarks likely to cause controversy after many players talked about being continually restricted to hotels and stadiums.
Indian cricket chief Sourav Ganguly has stoked a debate on the pressures of bio-secure bubble cricket by saying Indian cricketers are better at handling mental health than foreign players. The former national team captain and president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said many England, Australia and West Indies cricketers “just give up on mental health”. The comments could cause controversy after many players, including India captain Virat Kohli, highlighted the struggles top players are facing in continually being restricted to staying within hotels and stadiums.
