World Cup 2019: It’s not only Zampa, even Indian fielders use hand-warmers

When Zampa was seen using hand warmers, social media, especially the Indian fans, went on an overdrive, accusing the Australian of indulging in ball-tampering.

It was not too long back that Australia leg-spinner Adam Zampa sparked an unwarranted controversy for using hand warmers during the World Cup game against India but it has now been revealed that even ‘Men In Blue’ use the same equipment to beat the biting cold. When Zampa was seen using hand warmers, social media, especially the Indian fans, went on an overdrive, accusing the Australian of indulging in ball-tampering. Skipper Aaron Finch was forced to clarify the use of handwarmer at the post-match interaction that it is a part of cricketing equipment when players need to keep their hands warm in cooler confines to get the feel back in hands. Asked how a fielding unit prepares for cold conditions, India fielding coach R Sridhar replied, "I think hand-warmers is obviously the first option to keep your hands warm." There are other options like “running from one fielding position to another or throwing the ball around” said Sridhar. “That also keeps you warm between overs and doesn’t allow your body to cool down. Also, we practice in the same weather, so that also gives us a heads up.”
