'We Have Nothing To Hide,' Says Oval Curator Lee Fortis After A Heated Exchange With Gambhir (Ld)
Indian High Commission: The Oval pitch curator Lee Fortis has broken his silence following a fiery on-field confrontation with India head coach Gautam Gambhir, insisting there’s "nothing to hide" ahead of the high-stakes fifth and final Test between India and England.
“It is quite a big game coming up. It is not my job to be happy with him (Gambhir) or not. I have never met him before today. You saw what he was like this morning. It's okay, I am fine. We have nothing to hide,” Fortis told reporters, addressing the altercation during India’s training session on Tuesday.
The verbal spat, which occurred as Indian bowlers were marking their run-up areas in the nets, quickly escalated in full public view. Gambhir, known for his passionate demeanour, was seen shouting at Fortis while pointing fingers at the ground staff. The exact reason for the clash remains unclear, but reports suggest the dispute may have been over pitch conditions.
