In a surprising development, the Pakistan team is made to stay in three-star hotels on their tour to England. A touring team usually stays in some of the most lavish five-star hotels, however, this is not the case for Pakistan this time around.
According to the reports, the team stayed in a 3-star hotel adjacent to the ground in Worcester in the first phase of the stay. The team has now moved to Derby where again the team has been made to stay in one of the most affordable motel & hotel chains in the UK, Travelodge.
The team is currently staying at the three-star Travelodge Derby Cricket Ground hotel where bookings start for as low as £26.99 per night.

The Men in Green arrived in England on 28th June to prepare for the series against England. As per the new regulations, a team visiting a country has to complete a 14-day isolation period with no one allowed to contact anyone outside the group.
The only permitted outdoor activity for the Pakistan team is their practice whereas the indoor activities are only restricted to players’ rooms. Pakistan will play three Tests and three T20Is. All the fixtures will be played in Southampton and Manchester and the reason behind the nomination of these grounds is that there are hotels adjacent to them.
What are your thoughts on the story? Let us know in the comments section.
I think we can safely say their 3-star would be better than or equal to our 5-stars so good step.
Not mostly true. If you stay in some hotels in London or New York you will be be surprised that not only they are unhygienic but staff is quite rude.
Most certainly it’s your gorra complex
Austerity drive in action
Well, do they even deserve to stay in five star hotels on tax payers’ money while their performance is zero?
Stay is arranged by the hosting board and not by visiting team
Those players who cant stay in Travelodge can come back on the first flight back to Karachi. Weather is nice these days. The car thermometer showed 46 degrees during the day. It also rained heavily today afteenoon and roads are flooded and gutter overflowing. Staying at Travelodge is no good.
Stop your whining! Play your cricket, win the series and go back with no controversy! Get rid of your VIP mentality. And don’t forget most of these 3* hotels are still better than what 90% of your population enjoy. Think about the poor!
I just do not understand who wrote these articles? Clearly you have never been to the UK otherwise you won’t write things like these. Travelodge is one of best places to stay in the UK on a trip
Want to fix cricket..
Cut all the money for 5 years.
Whoever wants to play for Pakistan come and play free for country.
No bonuses, no match fee. Nothing.
Do all this and more and than see the new names come up with actual talent.
