Eat more meat, Delport to Tigers

Physical strength plays great importance in a sport like cricket and diet is instrumental to a player's fitness regime. South African batsman Cameron Delport feels eating meat adds to one's muscle strength and has suggested the Bangladeshi cricketers to increase their meat consumption to grow their power-hitting ability in the shortest format of the game.

“Eat more meat (to hit over the boundary line),” said Delport, who plays for Rangpur Rangers in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League.

“I suppose work hard that comes with dedication and being fit. You have got to work hard and practice and the result will come,” CricFrenzy quoted Delport as saying.

South African cricketers are currently involved in different T20 leagues like the Mzansi Super League, Bangladesh Premier League and will also be seen in the upcoming Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020. And Delport felt his countrymen are usually better power-hitters because they learn to play the sport playing in true bounce.

“It does not bounce here much the ball keeps low. I think in South Africa there is true bounce. I think it’s how you brought up. All South Africa is a big hitter because of true bounce,” he said.

While Delport suggested cricketers to add more meat, the trend is generally shifting towards turning vegan. India skipper Virat Kohli has also spoken several times that how turning vegetarian changed his life.

Other than Kohli, Australian international cricketers Kane Richardson, Adam Zampa and Peter Siddle are also vegan.
