Former Chief Pitch Curator of MA Chidambaram Stadium K. Parthasarathy passed away
A sad news came out from Tamil Nadu cricket on Sunday. On Sunday, the famous former pitch curator of Tamil Nadu Cricket Association (TNCA) K. Parthasarathy passed away. The association expressed its condolences on his demise and remembered his significant contribution. Parthasarathy MA was the former chief pitch curator of Chidambaram Stadium and served from 1972 to 2013. He worked tirelessly with his team to ensure top class facilities and playing conditions for the MAC Stadium. Many cricket legends often praised the pitches prepared by Parthasarathy in a career spanning nearly five decades. In fact, he had a deep connection with cricket, as his father KS Kannan was a first class cricketer. Not only this, he was also a famous coach. According to the New Indian Express, the TNCA had duly acknowledged his contribution in developing Tamil Nadu cricket by honoring him during the final match of the 2020-21 edition of the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL). Pitch prepared for many memorable international cricket matches Parthasarathy had prepared pitches for many memorable international cricket matches during his career. He also brought some major improvements and techniques in preparing world class pitches. His ability can be judged from the fact that he used such a type of soil to prepare the pitch, which helps both the batsmen and the bowlers. He often used red clay and black clay to provide equal opportunities for players to showcase their different skills. Additionally, he also focused on creating a multi-layered pitch to ensure that the pitch provided uniform bounce and pace. He also took into account things that affect pitch preparation such as the role of temperature and humidity. Last but not least, he also showed his expertise in choosing the right type of grass for the surface and their appropriate growth, which resulted in close international matches.
ICC’s anti-corruption chief Alex Marshall warned of the danger of corruption from ‘poorly run T20 league’, know what he said
I believe the cricket you watch is safe and clean: Alex Marshall Alex Marshall (Image Credit- Twitter X) Alex Marshall, chief of the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Anti-Corruption Unit team, has recently assured the general public that the cricket they watch is completely corruption-free. He also warned that those who want to corrupt the game usually enter the system from local T20 leagues. These leagues are not run by the ICC but by its member countries. Marshall further said that as long as people want to make money, corrupt people will keep trying to get into the system. Alex Marshall, quoted by the Times of India, said, “I believe the cricket you watch is safe and clean. But I am also convinced that the corrupt are constantly finding their way into the game, especially in the poorly run lower-level franchise T20 leagues. The danger to the game is that as long as there is money to be made, the corrupt will not be able to escape and they will find loopholes in the system to get involved.” He also spoke about how pleased he is with the growing number of players willing to report corruption, which helps the global body maintain the integrity of the sport. Marshall further said- I am glad to see the growing number of players trusting us to come and report such cases to us. But there was a time when players kept it a secret, which led to no action, but now they have confidence. Players have seen corrupt people being busted, which shows who the corrupt are, what their methods are. So, everyone is better protected and equipped to keep corruption away from the game. Marshall has been on this post for 7 years Let us tell you that Alex Marshall has been leading the ICC’s Anti Corruption Unit for the last 7 years. Under his leadership, special changes have been seen in the system. It was under Marshall’s leadership that an Indian bookie was foiled on the report of Shakib Al Hasan.
