Kotla pitch was unfit for ODI: Harbhajan | Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh said on Wednesday that the International Cricket Council's (ICC) classification of Ferozshah Kotla pitch in Delhi as unfit was a right decision. Interacting with the media Singh said: "The wicket was
unfit that day. Batsmen were having a tough time. The bounce was uneven and
chances of grave injuries were strong. The injuries could also have led to player being
unfit to play for next 3-4 months. Considering the way the wicket behaved and
what happened to players, the decision of ICC, it was a right decision." Abandoning
the fifth and final One-Day International between Sri Lanka and India on Sunday,
ICC match referee Alan Hurst had classified the Kotla track as unfit. He has given
the worst possible rating to the pitch among six categories - very good, good,
above average, below average, poor and unfit. The ICC sought an explanation from
the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday 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. |
