'No pork, beef, only halal meat': BCCI's new dietary plan for the Indian cricket team irks fans

New Delhi, Nov 23: The Indian Cricket Team is reportedly following a strict diet plan which excludes pork and beef in any form, and includes only halal-certified meat for consumption.

 

 

According to a Sports Tak report, “If anyone wants to have meat then it should be only in halal form, players can’t eat any other form of meat whatsoever," it added. For the unversed, there are two ways of slaughtering an animal. The 'Halal' method is the one where the animal is given a cut and left to die by slow bleeding, while the other method known as ‘Jhatka’ means that the animal is slaughtered in one go.

 

Now, eating Halal meat is prohibited in Hinduism and Sikhism, while Muslims eat only Halal meat and for them any other form of meat is strictly prohibited. The latest development has irked fans on social media.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If this latest development is believed to be true, it shall certainly result in a huge controversy. The best option is to revoke it and give the players the choice to decide what type of meat they wish to eat.
