ICC addresses concerns about New York pitch before India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2024 match: ‘Determined to make improvements…’

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has acknowledged issues with the pitch at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, promising to address the problem before the upcoming matches. Concerns were raised after low-scoring games between South Africa and Sri Lanka, as well as India and Ireland, with the pitch being described as sluggish.

The stadium is set to host two crucial matches for India, including a highly anticipated clash against arch-rivals Pakistan on June 9. The curators are using the drop-in method for pitch preparation, where the pitch is prepared off-site and then installed at the venue before the match.

In a statement, the ICC admitted that the pitches at the stadium have not played as consistently as desired but assured fans that efforts are being made to improve the surfaces for the remaining matches. The world-class grounds team is working diligently to ensure the best possible conditions for the upcoming games.

India, led by Rohit Sharma, will face Pakistan with confidence after a convincing win against Ireland, while Pakistan will be looking to bounce back from their defeat to USA. The match is expected to be a thrilling encounter between the two cricketing giants.

Cricket fans are eagerly awaiting the showdown between India and Pakistan at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, hoping for a competitive and exciting match between the traditional rivals.
