India wicketkeeper Taniya Bhatia robbed in London team hotel, slams ECB security

India women's cricket team wicketkeeper-batter Taniya Bhatia took to social media on Monday

Taniya Bhatia said it was shocking to see the security arrangements or the lack of it at the team hotel and urged the ECB to investigate the matter, sooner than later. Taniya Bhatia was part of India's ODI and T20I squad for the limited-overs assignments in England.

India played 3 T20Is and as many ODIs in England from September 10 to 24. Taniya was also part of India's squad for the Commonwealth Games which was held in Birmingham.

"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. @MarriottBonvoy @Marriott. So unsafe," Taniya Bhatia said in a tweet.

"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.

At the time of writing the story, the ECB hadn't responded to the India cricketer's claim.
