New Delhi: Destroying all reports on the planned new Diet Team India, BCCI Treasurer Arun Dhumal said on Tuesday that the Board had not issued the direction to the players or support staff, and they were free to eat according to their choice.

It was also reported that the players were only allowed to consume meat only in the form of ‘halal’.
However, BCCI Treasurer has denied all reports, by saying that what is called a diet plan has never been discussed and will not be upheld.
