Washington Sundar, a player from Tamil Nadu who is part of the Indian team, said in an interview:
Indian team players engaged in indoor football game. I did not participate. A strange incident happened 5, 6 years ago. Before an important tour I injured my ankle while playing football. I decided then that I would never play football again in my life. Instead of playing football, you can do other exercises. Beautiful New Zealand is my favorite country. People are friendly. Since coming here we have been going to many different restaurants. We walk on the roads. The coffee here is amazing. He said that we can do what we want here without disturbing anyone.
