T20 world cup 2024: The results coming during the t20 world cup matches going on in America are surprising everyone, but even more surprising is the attitude of the pitches. There is an uproar over the abnormal bounce of the Drop-In pitches brought from Adelaide, australia and fitted directly in the grounds. Especially after the India-Ireland match, these pitches are being heavily criticized, in which some balls bounced 9 feet on the Nassau County Ground pitch and some were seen bouncing 4 feet. After the tremendous criticism of the pitches, finally the international cricket Council has also ended its silence on them. ICC has declared the Nassau County Ground pitch as 'extremely dangerous with large open cracks'. It has also said that playing matches on such pitches is very worrying.

India had won, but with 'concern'

India had won the match played against ireland at Nassau County Ground. This match was very low-scoring. The ireland team was all out for just 96 runs in 16 overs. After this, india won the match by 8 wickets, but seeing the condition of the pitch, there was an atmosphere of 'concern' in the indian camp. Especially at that time, lines of worry were seen on the data-face of the indian team, when captain Rohit Sharma, who laid the foundation of victory by scoring a half-century, had to retire hurt. Irish fast bowler josh Little's ball suddenly rose very fast from good length, which went straight to Rohit's right hand and he had to retire hurt. After this, rishabh pant also had to bear the consequences of this unusual bounce. pant, who scored 36 not out, also got a ball suddenly bouncing on his left elbow.

India is also worried due to this reason

The pitch of Nassau County Ground has been prepared in Adelaide, Australia. After this, it has been imported in pieces and re-installed in Nassau Stadium for the World Cup. This type of pitch is called drop-in, which indian cricket fans have also seen in uae before this. However, the behaviour of these pitches in dubai and Abu Dhabi stadiums of uae has not been so unusual. This unusual bounce is also a matter of concern for india because it still has to play two more matches in this stadium. Old cricketers like Irfan Pathan, Michael Vaughan and Sanjay Manjrekar have also described the pitch of Nassau Stadium as completely useless for such a big event. Especially in such a situation when this world cup is being organized with the target of making cricket popular in America.

What has ICC said

ICC said in a statement on Thursday, 'T20 Inc and ICC believe that the pitches of Nassau County international cricket Stadium are not behaving the way we wanted. After the completion of yesterday's match (India-Ireland), the team of world class grounds staff is trying to improve this situation. Our effort is to provide as good a pitch as possible for the remaining matches.
