The Sri Lankan players had to wear pollution masks on day 2 of the third Test against India at Feroz Shah Kotla due to increased level of smog. However, this is not the first time a cricket match has been held up due to inclement weather conditions but it is the first time that a match has been halted due to increased level of pollution as the Lankan players complained about the poor air quality. Should Sri Lankans have continued to play or is it too much to ask international athletes to expose themselves to hazardous levels of pollution to play?
