SL's Lakmal vomits on field, smog may rob Delhi of future winter tests

The Indian cricket board (BCCI) said it would factor in Delhi's pollution before scheduling a match in the city at this time of the year

Sri Lanka paceman Suranga Lakmal vomited on the field before walking off as Delhi’s notorious smog, which may rob the Indian capital of future winter tests, continued to plague the third and final match on Tuesday.

India’s second innings was into its sixth over when Lakmal was seen bending over and throwing up. The Sri Lankan physio rushed in and eventually walked off with the player.

Lakmal, who returned to bowl the 11th over, and pace colleague Lahiru Gamage had also walked off on Sunday with discomfort.
