Men’s ODI WC: BCCI Clarifies Over India-New Zealand Semifinal Being Played On Used Pitch
Mumbai Cricket Association: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has issued a clarification over the India-New Zealand semi-final at the Wankhede Stadium being played on a used pitch, saying the ICC’s independent pitch consultant is working with the venues for the tournament.
“The ICC independent pitch consultant works with the host and venues on their proposed pitch allocations and this process is ongoing throughout an event of this length and nature,” said the BCCI spokesperson to Daily Mail.
It comes after reports from Daily Mail and ESPNCricinfo said Wednesday’s semi-final was initially supposed to be played on pitch 7, the central strip of the stadium, which hasn’t been used in the World Cup so far. But a decision was made to shift the game to pitch 6.
