Taniya Bhatia took to social media on Monday and alleged that she was robbed during her stay at Marriot Hotel London Maida Vale. The India wicketkeeper-batter was clearly miffed at the situation and directed her ire at the England Cricket Board (ECB) for their lack of security.
“Shocked and disappointed at Marriot Hotel London Maida Vale management; someone walked into my personal room and stole my bag with cash, cards, watches and jewellery during my recent stay as a part of Indian Women’s Cricket team. So unsafe,” Bhatia wrote on Twitter.

Hoping for a quick investigation and resolution of this matter. Such lack of security at @ECB_cricket’s preferred hotel partner is astounding. Hope they will take cognisance as well,” she added.
The ECB has not released any statement as of now.

India played three T20Is and three ODIs against England on this tour. The last of those games came at Lord’s in London. The match also marked Jhulan Goswami’s farewell from international cricket. Taniya Bhatia was part of the squad that won the silver medal at CWG, and the England tour. In the latter assignment, she warmed the bench with Richa Ghosh and Yastika Bhatia preferred in her place.
