India world cup winning captain Kapil Dev has suggested the BCCI to buy an airplane for the Indian cricket team in order to reduce travel time and resulting fatigue in an already busy schedule.
“Now that BCCI is making good money, it should have its own plane. It will save a lot of time and make life easier for Team India. The board can afford it. They should have done it five years ago,” he was quoted as saying by The Times of India.
“I would also love to see some cricketers buying their own aircrafts in the days to come. In the US, top golfers have their own planes. I don’t see any reason why our players can’t buy it as it will save them a lot of time.
“I also believe that if BCCI owns planes, the players will get enough rest between matches. I am sure BCCI can also afford the parking charges,” he said.
