Glenn McGrath defends India's performance in Dubai tournament
Glenn McGrath has addressed concerns about India's supposed unfair advantage in the ICC Champions Trophy. He stated that India, playing all matches in Dubai, adapted well to the conditions and should be credited for their performance. Previously, India was set to play in Lahore, but after refusing to travel to Pakistan, a hybrid model allowed them to compete solely in Dubai. Critics argued this gave India an edge, but McGrath disagrees, noting that teams often benefit from home conditions. McGrath also highlighted the positive impact of the Indian Premier League on the national team, suggesting it has helped develop new talent and skills. He emphasized India's strong understanding of one-day cricket and the challenges other teams face when playing in India.
