According to media reports, the players of three prominent teams wanted to change their venue after expressing unhappiness and dissatisfaction on the accommodations and facilities provided at Hotel Empires.
The ICC officials have not clarified the reason. But it is believed that the players were not happy due to the shortage of rooms in the hotel. The Australian players first raised their voice, which was backed by other teams including South Africa and New Zealand.
However, OCA Secretary Ashirbad Behera said that the decision to shift three teams to Swosti Premium was taken for the security reason.
