Mumbai Indians fielding coach James Pamment has claimed that some senior Indian players did not like being subjected to restrictions inside the currently-suspended IPL`s bio-bubble but it felt completely safe till the time cases from participating teams hadn`t come to light. Pamment did not elaborate on his assertion about the Indian players and did not take any names either. The IPL was suspended on May 4. "Some of the senior Indian guys don`t like being restricted and told what to do," he was quoted as saying by stuff.co.nz.
"But we did feel safe - at no point did we feel the bubble would be compromised ... We felt the travel was always going to be a challenge," The New Zealander, a former Northern Districts coach, said he and the MI players started to feel apprehensive shortly before the competition was halted. "It was when cases started to come with the teams. They were a little more fearful, a little more apprehensive," said the 52-year-old, who returned home on Saturday. "Chennai (CSK) announced their cases and we`d played Chennai at the weekend, so straight away, the dynamic changed. I certainly noticed from within my group. I`d spend most of my time with the Kiwis and the Aussies, their mindset had changed.
