Question on the pitch of Nassau County International Cricket Stadium
The pitch of New York’s Nassau County International Cricket Stadium is currently in the news. Only two matches have been played here so far, but even then the players are looking troubled. In the match played between India and Ireland, Indian captain Rohit Sharma got injured and had to leave the field in the middle of the match. Rishabh Pant was hit by a ball, however he did not leave the field. The pitch here has uneven bounce, that is, some balls stay very low and some bounce in an unexpected manner. Due to this, the batsman is not able to understand the mood of the pitch.
Runs are not being scored on this pitch
Not only this, scoring runs here is proving to be a tough task for any team and batsman. The Sri Lankan team could score only 77 runs here against South Africa. After this, when the match between India and Ireland took place, Ireland scored only 96 runs. After this, this pitch has come under scrutiny. Meanwhile, a BBC report says that India has expressed displeasure over the safety of its batsmen and the abnormal bounce as well as the two-way nature of the pitch.
