ICC officials are believed to be investigating suggestions the gastro virus that has swept through at least three teams at the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka is linked to the type of bottled water supplied at match venues.
New Zealand trio Dan Vettori, Tim Southee and Rob Nicol and Australia’s Mitchell Starc and Brad Hogg are among those players at the tournament who’ve been struck down with gastro and upset-stomach dramas in the past week.
Southee received hospital treatment for dehydration.
Starc and Hogg were isolated from the Australia team on Thursday and skipped a training session but both recovered to play in Saturday night’s Group B win over West Indies in Colombo.
Five South Africa players were weakened by gastro complaints but recovered to play in the Proteas’ win over Zimbabwe last Thursday.
An ICC spokesman was contacted by AAP and declined to provide a comment on Sunday night.
The ICC organises the supply of the water.
