England Team Chef for Pakistan Tour
As per a report, a personal team chef has been roped in after a debrief from the limited-overs England team that visited Pakistan earlier this year for seven T20Is before the T20 World Cup.
The same report states that the players and support staff from the limited-overs side had given the feedback that the food was not upto the mark.
As per a report, Omar Meziane will be the team chef for England and he is the same person who worked with the England men’s football team in a similar capacity during the 2018 FIFA World Cup and Euro 2020.
This is the first time that the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) will be bringing in a specifically employed chef for an overseas tour.
England are slated to play three Tests against Pakistan, beginning December 1 and the series will begin on December 1 in Rawalpindi. The next two Tests will be played in Multan and Karachi.
During the T20I series against Pakistan, England’s stand-in captain Moeen Ali talked about the differences in food when one goes to Lahore and Karachi.
“Food-wise, I have been a little bit disappointed in Lahore. Karachi was really nice,” a report quoted Moeen as saying.
When England toured Pakistan earlier this year, they ended up winning the seven-match T20I series 4-3, and later, England also ended up winning the T20 World Cup.
