It is important to note that this is not new to the Indian team. They have taken such stance in the past too.
The reasons could be many. It is also a case of BCCI showing their superiority over other boards of the region. More than that, it is also the influence of Jay Shah, who is also the VP of the Asian Cricket Council. The latter takes care of all the team logistics and preparation for the teams in the competition.
In fact, the Indian team have also been allowed to train in the evening hours due to the hot conditions in Dubai, reported Geo TV.
