NEW DEHLI: The toxic haze enveloping New Delhi has created a significant disruption in the preparations of both the Sri Lankan and Bangladeshi cricket teams ahead of their World Cup clash on Monday.

The heavily-polluted Indian capital has seen its air quality plummet to alarming levels, prompting concerns about the well-being of the players and officials participating in the match.

Swiss group IQAir’s real-time data placed New Delhi at the top of the list of the world’s most polluted cities, with an air quality index (AQI) of 640, categorized as “hazardous.” The toxic haze has led to the closure of some schools in the city and significantly impacted outdoor activities.
