Sri Lanka airs complaint with ICC

Sri Lanka have complained to cricket's governing body after four players vomited due to poor air quality during the third Test in New Delhi.

Sri Lanka's cricket board has complained to the sport's governing body about the poor air quality in which its players have been compelled to play a Test match in the Indian capital New Delhi.

Sports minister Dayasiri Jayasekara said Sri Lanka Cricket made the complaint on Tuesday to the International Cricket Council, saying "we can't play like this as four players had vomited" due to the pollution.

He said the ICC had informed them that it will take necessary steps. However it is not certain what action ICC had taken.

Sri Lanka and India played their third and final Test ending on Wednesday at Feroz Shah Kotla stadium.

Sri Lanka's cricketers wore face masks during the match and the bowlers complained of shortness of breath.
