Afghan Cricketers Tackle Halal Meat Challenge in Caribbean World Cup

Afghan cricketers face a unique challenge in the Caribbean during the T20 World Cup - the non-availability of halal meat. This has forced players to sometimes cook their food. The intense Super 8 schedule and logistical issues further complicated their preparations. Indian fans continue to support their team in the Caribbean.

Afghan cricketers found themselves facing an unexpected challenge in the Caribbean during the T20 World Cup: the lack of halal meat at their Bridgetown hotel. This dietary issue forced some players to don chef aprons and cook for themselves.

In stark contrast to their experience in India during last year's 50-over showpiece, where halal meat was readily available, the Caribbean hosts couldn't guarantee its presence on hotel menus. "Halal meat is not available in our hotel. Sometimes we cook on our own or sometimes we go out," an Afghan player revealed to PTI. The issue persisted across venues, adding an extra layer of difficulty to their stay.

Apart from dietary challenges, the Afghan team is also grappling with the logistical nightmare of the Super 8s schedule, with games spread across different islands requiring frequent travel. Despite these hurdles, India managed to secure a dominant 47-run victory over Afghanistan at the Kensington Oval.
