ICC issues show-cause notice to BCCI over Kotla pitch | The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Monday sought an explanation from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) over the unfit nature of the pitch that
led to the abandonment of the fifth and final one-day international between Sri Lanka and India in New Delhi. ICC CEO Haroon Lorgat said the BCCI has been
given
14 days to reply to match referee Alan Hurst's report. "The BCCI in this particular
incident like any other host board in any other situation would have 14 days in
which to respond with their report what had happened. So, the BCCI in this
particular
incident would have 14 days starting today in which to reply to the match referee's
(Alan Hurst) report which would also have been forwarded along to them with their
version of the incident," Lorgat said. "After that 14 day period, once we receive
the response from the BCCI, the chief match referee who is Ranjan Madugalle and
Dave Richardson who is general manager or head of cricket operations of ICC, will
then review all of the report in front of them and they would determine what will
be an appropriate response, what are the sanctions what the appropriate sanctions
would be for the Delhi pitch," he added. The fifth and final one-day international
between Sri Lanka and India was abandoned after 23.3 overs on Sunday due to the
unfit nature of the pitch at the Ferozshah Kotla stadium. A packed Kotla crowd
reacted angrily, hurling chair covers onto the field. Some spectators raised banners
asking for refund of their money. |
