Report claims BCCI switched pitches for World Cup semi-final, Pakistan-India clash
India could change the pitch once again if they reach Sunday’s final in Ahmedabad, says report
As cricket fanatics gear up for the first semi-final of the World Cup, a news report had made damaging claims against the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) accusing the Indian cricket regulator of switching the pitch, contrary to the ICC regulations, for the match in Mumbai between the home side and New Zealand on Wednesday.
According to a report published in the Daily Mail Sport, India could change the pitch once again if they reach Sunday’s final in Ahmedabad.
The decision to change the pitch has been taken to assist India’s spinners during the knockout match.
The governing body's consultant, Andy Atkinson, supervises the preparation of pitches at ICC events, who agrees in advance with the home board which of the numbered strips on the square will be used for each match.
However, the agreement was not honoured as the tournament reaches its decisive phase.
An entirely fresh surface was supposed to be used for the semi-final today but a WhatsApp message circulated on Tuesday to BCCI and ICC officials confirmed that pitch No 6, where England, South Africa, India and Sri Lanka have already played matches, will be used. Atkinson was told that the pitch can’t be used due to an “unspecified problem”.
There are also question marks over the preparation of the pitch for the final, which prompted Atkinson to fly to Ahmedabad last Friday after being frustrated over how the matter was being handled.
It was also revealed that the pitch for the high-profile World Cup clash between Pakistan-India was also changed.
