WEB DESK: Rising air pollution in India is impacting sports, with players resorting to masks during a Ranji Trophy match in Mumbai.
High pollution levels, worsened by construction around the Bandra Kurla Complex cricket ground, created breathing difficulties for players and officials.
Experts warn prolonged exposure to polluted air could harm players’ respiratory health, posing risks to upcoming international events.
Mumbai is set to host seven matches, including the T20 World Cup semi-final starting February 7, but concerns about player health and match arrangements remain unanswered by organizers.
