Two Bangladeshi players vomited on the field during the first Twenty20 International (T20I) in New Delhi on Sunday, espncricinfo.com link confirmed in a report. The first T20I was played in unfavourable conditions as the air pollution level in New Delhi worsened after the festival of Diwali.

Veteran Bangladesh batsman Mushfiqur Rahim after the match had said his team found it hard to cope up with the weather ever since their arrival in India.
Rahim also said, pollution was not an issue for him and his focus was on facing the opposition bowlers.
"Pollution is not an issue for me. I was more concerned about facing the opposition bowlers than worry about pollution," Mushfiqur told reporters.
"Irrespective of the condition we had to play. Since the moment we arrived in India it was like this and we did cope up with the weather and performed on match day," he added.
Meanwhile, BCCI President Sourav Ganguly had thanked both the teams for playing the Delhi T20I under tough conditions.
"Thank u to both the teams to play this game @ImRo45 @BCBtigers under tuff conditions .. well done bangladesh..," Ganguly tweeted.
