Cricketers from England use inhalers to combat the severe pollution in India

Throughout their miserable World cup campaign, England cricketers have occasionally turned to using inhalers to combat the high levels of pollution in major Indian towns.

According to a story in the British daily “I”, a few cricket players from England were made to take inhalers, which are often used by individuals with asthma.

Ben Stokes, the captain of the Test team, was observed using the inhalers in training before the Bangalore match against Sri Lanka.

On November 2, Delhi’s AQI (Air Quality Index) fell below 400, placing it in the “severe” category. Mumbai residents are also quite concerned about the pollution, as India captain Rohit Sharma mentioned it prior to the November 2 match against Sri Lanka.

“I mean, in an ideal world, you don’t want a situation like this, but I’m pretty sure the concerned people are taking the necessary steps. It’s not ideal, everyone knows that. But obviously, looking at our future generations – your kids, my kids – obviously, it’s quite important that they get to live without any fear.”

“So, yeah, every time I get to speak outside of cricket, if we are not discussing cricket, I always talk about this. You know we have to look after our future generations,” said Rohit on Wednesday

England is now in Ahmedabad for their match against Australia, their bitter rivals, but according to a British newspaper, the players are not expected to use inhalers because of the city’s acceptable air quality.

After the team’s crushing defeat to South Africa last month, England batsman Joe Root was questioned about the pollution in Mumbai’s air, but he refrained from claiming it had anything to do with the team’s loss. “You simply had the feeling that you were out of breath. It stood out, “he remarked.
