England Cricket Team are getting ready for their tour of India which is set to begin on January 25. Hyderabad will host the first of five Test matches in a massive series with huge World Test Championship (WTC) points on offer.

It was announced that Manchester United’s chef Omar Meziane will travel to India with the three lions. As per reports, it is said that many of the English players do not want to eat spicy Indian food during the tour.

After this news came to light, former Indian opener Aakash Chopra has taken a massive dig at the visiting side. Fans and many experts are also left confused as English players will be staying in top-notch hotels.

Aakash Chopra takes a swipe at the England Team –

Ahead of England’s tour of India, former India star Aakash Chopra has landed a massive shot on Twitter. The 46-year-old wasn’t impressed when it came to light that England will travel with their own Chef.

Aakash Chopra wrote “Good Idea. I’m sure the majority of the English players must be bringing in their Chefs for the IPL too. Year after year. As if”. It is worth noting that many international players tour India and play in the IPL. With top hotel chains and some outstanding chefs, India is known for serving different cuisines.

The Telegraph’s journalist Nick Hoult wrote: “England insists it has nothing to do with not trusting hotels to provide clean facilities and is instead about ensuring players, especially those who refuse to eat spicy food, are eating nutritious meals rather than filling up on energy bars and pizzas.”

Meanwhile, Anand Vasu who is an Indian journalist has taken offense to the move. “They only stay in the fanciest five to seven-star hotels that have award-winning chefs and multiple restaurants. At one level this is just offensive”

Team England will begin their tour of India with a Test Match in Hyderabad. This will be followed by the next two games to be held in Visakhapatnam and Ranchi. The caravan will then move to Rajkot with the fourth Test on the 23rd of February. The final Test match will be played in Himachal Pradesh.-
