New Zealand commentator Simon Doull criticised the hospitality section of the commentary box in Wellington before the first T20I between India and New Zealand was washed out.
The 53-year-old, who is a part of the commentary panel for the series, slammed the organisers, posting a photo on social media of a dirty cloth he used to clean the seats in the commentary box.
“Another great reason to play here at @skystadium. I have just cleaned all the seats in our commentary area so our overseas guests can sit down. What a shambles of a place. Embarrassing. #welcometoNZ,” he wrote on Twitter.

The first of the three T20Is between India and New Zealand was called off without a ball being bowled owing to rain.

Both the teams next travel to Mount Mangunai for the second T20I.
