In an unprecedented turn of events, the embattled Sri Lankan cricket team today held up play during the third Test against India, complaining of poor air quality that forced the hosts to declare their innings. "This is a sad situation that we are facing international shame for hosting games at such polluted places. "The bigger hindrance to clean up the air in India is lack of political will," Dahiya said. Sri Lankan players struggling and using masks clearly highlighted that the air in Delhi is heavily loaded with pollution and undertaking physical activities was making it difficult for players to breath.
