World Cup 2023: Indian cricketers banned from trekking and paragliding

After registering their fifth World Cup win in Dharamshala, the Indian Cricket Team is gearing up for their next challenge against England. With an impressive record of five consecutive wins in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023, the team has earned a well-deserved two-day break before they face off against the English squad. However, it seems that the team management has some stern rules in place to ensure their players stay in the best possible condition. The players' dreams of trekking in the enchanting hills of Dharamshala have been dashed by the team management. Many of them were excited about the prospect of trekking in the scenic town, but the management has sternly prohibited any such adventure, especially during the crucial phase of the World Cup.

The decision, it appears, is rooted in the management's commitment to safeguarding the players. With a major tournament underway, the board and management are determined to avoid any unnecessary risks that might lead to player injuries. Additionally, the security of the players in a location as popular as Dharamshala for trekking is a significant concern. The restrictions don't stop at trekking; Indian players are also barred from indulging in another adventurous activity - paragliding. Engaging in paragliding during the series could potentially violate the player contracts, adding to the list of activities off-limits for the cricketers during their free time. It's evident that the team management is leaving no stone unturned in ensuring that the Indian Cricket Team is in the best possible shape for their World Cup campaign. With five wins in five matches, the team is poised for greatness and eager to exact revenge on England after a humbling defeat in the T20 World Cup last year.
