'Secret' India's dissatisfaction, ICC did not take into account

Despite strong criticism, the International Cricket Council (ICC) will not move any matches from the Nassau Cricket Stadium in New York. The T20 World Cup organizers have said that they are continuing to try to spread the T20 cricket craze at the newly constructed Nassau Cricket Stadium. The T20 World Cup match is being held at three venues in the United States.

Of the 3 venues in the United States for World Cup matches, Nassau County has the most 8 matches. Drop in pitches from Adelaide have been brought and used on the field. But in the two matches played so far, no team has been able to reach a hundred runs in the first innings. South Africa and Sri Lanka faced each other in the first match of the stadium which was built in just 5 months.

Where Sri Lanka were bowled out for their minimum of 77 runs. Only 3 fours and sixes in two innings. India bowled Ireland out for 96 runs in 16 overs after sending Ireland into bat first in the second match. In both the matches, the power of the Pacers was visible. Ball had sim movement. The wicket was slow. Uneven bounce and slow outfield did not cut the runs short. It did not have the taste of T20 at all. Criticizing the stadium in New York, former Pakistan coach Arthur X wrote, 'This pitch in New York is very bad!'

Former England captain Michael Vaughan wrote strongly, “It is unacceptable that players should play on this low-quality wicket in New York.” India and Pakistan will face each other in the next match at this ground. It is said that the biggest match in the world of cricket is the fight between these two teams. However, with such a poor wicket and slow outfield of the field where the game will be played, the supporters and experts cannot expect much. Even though there is talk of moving the match, ICC said that no match will be moved.

Meanwhile, BBC Sports has confirmed that India secretly expressed their displeasure to the ICC after the first match. Especially the issue of wickets with two types of pace and uneven bounce. 32 thousand spectators will attend the India Pakistan match. The ICC is not at all ready for another grueling match ahead of them. But this match will be played on an unused wicket. So the organizers are hoping for something good.

In a statement, the ICC said, 'The pitches used so far at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium have not played as consistently as we all wanted. The world-class grounds department has been working hard since the conclusion of yesterday's game to deal with the situation and provide the best possible wickets for the rest of the matches.'
