Team officials weren't happy about not having room service or house keeping with an unnamed member of the tourists' travelling party labelling the hotel as a "prison for all practical purposes" in an interview with the Times of India.<\/p>\n
The hotel swimming pool, gym and cafes were all off-limits to the players when they arrived, according to the source.<\/p>\n

"We are locked up in our rooms, have to make our own beds, clean our own toilets. Food is coming from a nearby Indian restaurant which will be given to us on our floor. We can't move out of the floor that's been designated to us," the source said.<\/p>\n
But after the BCCI took up the issue with Cricket Australia, conditions have changed.<\/p>\n
"The board has been told that the team has been given access to all the lifts in the hotel. They can use a gym too. It has been assured that there will be room service and house keeping. The team has also been given a team room where they can assemble and have meetings. Only the swimming pool is not open for use," a senior BCCI official told The Times of India.<\/p>\n
"The players are exhausted and have retired to their rooms. But they would like to go out for a stroll later in the day. You can't expect a player to keep doing up his room during this kind of tour. BCCI is always by the side of its players and will ensure they get the best treatment."<\/p>\n
