India’s World Cup cricketers have appealed to the country’s demanding media to halt their endless demands for interviews ahead of Sunday’s clash with England.

“Members of the media are requested to refrain from constantly contacting the members of the Indian team on phone/SMS for interviews as players would like to concentrate on the ongoing World Cup,” said N. Srinivasan, secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), in a statement.
