India and Australia are set to play the fourth Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy starting on March 9 at Ahmedabad. The Holkar stadium in Indore (venue for third Test) was deemed “poor” within the ICC ranking. Following this, the Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA) is unlikely to threat its fame by making ready one thing diabolical. Ahead of the ultimate Test, the GCA curators acknowledged that they haven’t received any instructions from the Indian administration relating to the pitch.
“We haven’t received any instructions from the Indian team management and our local curators are preparing a normal track as we have always done through the season,” a state affiliation supply instructed PTI.
“In fact, last Ranji game over here in January, Railways scored 500 plus (508) batting first, and Gujarat, although had innings defeat, scored 200 plus in both innings. It won’t be too different this time,” he mentioned.
There are 96 hours nonetheless left for the Test match to start and one does not know what’s going to occur as soon as BCCI curators Taposh Chatterjee and Ashish Bhowmick take over.
“Obviously, last few days, the BCCI’s grounds and pitches committee instruct the local curator. But certainly, from our end, our endeavour is to produce a good Test match pitch,” the official mentioned.
“You have to factor in that the Day/Night Test and the one after that were the first ones held after the stadium was refurbished and you had no clue how the pitch will pan out,” he added.
India will need to win the match which shall be performed at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad with a purpose to seal their berth at the WTC last. In case India fail to take action, they’ll want New Zealand to keep away from a whitewash at the arms of Sri Lanka. While Australia have already sealed their place within the WTC last, Sri Lanka can pip India within the second spot provided that they whitewash the Black Caps 2-0.
