<p>Team India bounced back with a 3-0 clean sweep of New Zealand in the recently-concluded T20 series after a disappointing campaign at the T20 World Cup 2021. It was a clinical performance from the hosts throughout the series as they won all three games in a row against the T20 World Cup finalists to kick start the new era of Indian cricket under head coach Rahul Dravid and captain Rohit Sharma with a win.</p>

<p>While the team's performance was lauded by many on social media, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) got embroiled in a fresh controversy after a report claimed the BCCI&nbsp;has banned beef and pork in any form in the new strict diet regimen for the Indian men's cricket team. The report also stated that the players have been asked to consume meat only in halal form.</p>

<p>However, the dietary plan has been shared by the Indian team management and not the BCCI for the upcoming first Test against New Zealand in Kanpur that starts from November 25 (Thursday). As per a report in<em> India Today,</em>&nbsp;"No pork and beef whatsoever in any form and variety. All meat must be Halal," is written as part of the catering requirements for Team India for the Kanpur Test and marked as 'important'.</p>

<p>Fans have been left irked by the Indian team management's&nbsp;decision to ban all other forms of meat except halal, with many claiming it is against Hindus as eating halal meat is forbidden and against the religion. Fans also dragged BCCI into the controversy slamming the board over the dietary plan.</p>

<p>There are two ways of slaughtering an animal - the halal method where the animal is given a cut and is left to bleed slowly, and the jhatka method where the animal is slaughtered in one go. Muslims consume only halal meat and&nbsp;abstain&nbsp;from eating any other type of meat.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, as per <em>India Today</em>, the dietary plan has not come from the BCCI but the team management, which has to share the dietary plan along with security and logistics with the host board. The Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association is the host board for the first Test which will be played in Kanpur. It is a regular procedure to share the security, diet and logistics plans with the host board before an international game.</p>

<p>Nonetheless, fans on Twitter have accused the BCCI of promoting halal meat after the details of their new dietary plan were reported.</p>

Team India's dietary plan with halal meat and no beef, pork only for Kanpur Test vs New Zealand - Report

<p>Belgium this week banned religious animal slaughter in a northern region of Flanders triggering outrage among the large Jews and Muslim community living in the area.</p>

<p>Flanders passed the legislation in July 2017 but it came into effect from January 1 this year after facing many objections from Jews and Muslim communities. Among the countries that have also banned religious animal slaughter includes Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Denmark, the Netherlands and Slovenia.</p>

<p>The law specifically bans the slaughter of animals without stunning them first with an electric shock to protect them from the pain. In the kosher or halal method of animal slaughter, animals are required to be in perfect health before it is killed by a quick sharp and deep cut on the neck.</p>

<p>The ban has been welcomed by the animal rights activists who considered the practice inhumane as they claimed that it leads to faster and more painful deaths. Meanwhile, an outcry has been triggered among the Jews and Muslim communities as the claimed the ban amounts to nothing more than "antisemitism" and "Islamophobia" and said that it is a violation of their religious freedom.</p>

<p>Following the ban, animals will be slaughtered after they are stunned electronically which will help them in not feeling the pain&nbsp;in Flanders,</p>

<p>Belgium has about 500,000&nbsp;population of Muslims and over 30,000 Jews who feared that this may lead to a hike in meat prices.</p>
