When India’s lawn bowls team touched down in the United Kingdom a week before the 2022 Commonwealth Games, it didn’t have training access at the rinks in Victoria Park, Leamington Spa. The fact that the side hasn’t had a coach for a while didn’t help either.
“We didn’t know what to do then. We searched on the internet where the nearest bowling clubs were. We called quite a few of them, but they were all too expensive,” Sunil Bahadur, member of the men’s team, told Sportstar.
