WTC Final: ICC Prepares Two Pitches for India vs Australia Match
In light of a potential threat to vandalise the field and pitch during the World Test Championship Final between India and Australia, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has taken measures to ensure the safety of the Kennington Oval cricket stadium. This includes preparing two pitches in case the original one is damaged.
Cummins and Rohit Sharma Taken Into Confidence
The ICC has also modified section 6.4 of the Playing Condition regulation to make a different pitch. Both captains Pat Cummins and Rohit Sharma have been taken into confidence regarding the potential issue. If the field is hindered, they will determine if it is still playable or not. If it is, they will keep playing on it; if not, they will look at the other field s condition and decide whether they can continue playing there.
Rohit Sharma Unsure of Playing XI
Rohit Sharma has expressed his uncertainty over the selection of the Playing XI, stating that he does not need to be reminded of the ICC drought. He remains undecided on whether to choose Kishan or Bharat for the match. Cummins, on the other hand, has picked Boland over Neser.
