Men's ODI WC: ICC Dismisses Controversy, Justifies Pitch Change For India-NZ Semifinal
The International Cricket Council: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has justified the change of the pitch for the Men's ODI World Cup 2023 semifinal between India and New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium on Wednesday, informing that it was apprised of the reason and its independent consultant found nothing wrong with the strip used for the match.
A controversy had erupted before the match as some reports claimed that the match would be played on a used pitch instead of a fresh one earmarked for the semis earlier.
Some reports claimed that the BCCI through the local curator had changed the pitch -- on a suggestion from the Indian team management -- to one on which two matches have already been played.
