His pitch became controversial even before the first Test match of the series between India and Australia scheduled in Nagpur.
According to Indian media reports, former Australian cricketers criticized the pitch and demanded immediate intervention from the ICC in this matter.
The series between the two teams is called the Border Gavaskar Trophy with the first Test of the four-match series starting tomorrow.
The Test match pitch was designed to help spinners as such wickets are common in India. However, a day before the match, the pitch curators tampered with him.
After the curators did this, not only everyone was surprised, but they have also started to be criticized by former Australian cricketers.
In an interview to a media outlet, former Australian cricketer Simon O’Donnell said, “If the ICC feels that it has gone wrong and the pitch does not play according to the ICC’s test standards, then they will take action on the matter.” The world governing body of cricket should come forward and do something.’
He said that there will be an ICC match referee and ICC will also be watching this match.
Former Australian cricketer Jason Gillespie went a step further and said that India wants to suppress Australia with spin, which is their most reliable area, so that they can win the series and reach the final of the World Test Championship.
He said that curators in Australia are instructed to prepare the best pitch according to the Test.
