Ruckus over the pitch before IND vs PAK match, what scary thing did the top 5 experts say about the USA pitch
The hosting of the T20 World Cup has been handed over to West Indies and America. But after the Sri Lanka and South Africa match played on June 3, this pitch is being criticized everywhere. Former Indian all-rounder Irfan Pathan has also strongly criticized the pitch of Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. The drop-in pitch of the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium proved to be a nightmare for the Sri Lankan batsmen who struggled on the slow outfield. Four Sri Lankan players could not even open their account. Three players could not reach double figures. 7 matches are yet to be played on this pitch and the India-Pakistan match is also to be played on this drop-in pitch on 9 June. In such a situation, let’s know what 5 top experts said about the USA pitch- Former Team India all-rounder Irfan Pathan shared a post on the social media platform X. In this post, he has strongly criticized the pitch of this new stadium in New York. Irfan wrote in his post on X that, “This is by no means an ideal pitch for the T20 format.” “Overall I am not able to understand, is this a suitable pitch for the T20 format? I don’t think so. As far as I am concerned, it is not good enough for a T20 game. Yes, it should be a balanced wicket between bat and ball, but this pitch is heavily in favor of the bowlers. Playing on this pitch is not going to be easy at all for the batsmen.” 3. Manoj Tiwari “This is unacceptable because if a batsman hits a shot, the ball does not go fast on the field, and this is because the amount of sand used is more. It will be difficult for teams to score runs. Hitting sixes continuously is not possible on this pitch. You will have to play some shots along the ground. You will only be able to take singles instead of doubles. Such a pitch is unacceptable from the ICC because when the World Cup is going on and you have time to prepare for it, you should have also made a proper outfield.” 4. Farveez Maharoof “I heard someone in the commentary say that the best way to use the pitch is to play the 10-over circuit. Give them a chance in the first 10 overs when the ball is doing something while saving wickets for the second half. But, overall I don’t think it is a suitable wicket for T20 cricket and as far as I am concerned, it is not even good enough for a T20 match. It is not going to be easy at all for the batsmen, they will have to take 20 balls to understand the pace and the pitch.” 5. Faf du Plessis “Wow this wicket is spicy.”

Also, Azam Khan has been selected for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 starting from June 1. It will be worth seeing how Azam is going to perform in the big tournament for the Pakistan cricket team?

So when England came out to chase the target of 158 runs given by Pakistan, it easily achieved this target by losing 3 wickets in 15.3 overs.

T20 World Cup 2024: Fast bowler Shaheen Afridi rejects the responsibility of vice-captaincy of Pak team
T20 World Cup is starting from 2 June Shaheen Shah Afridi (Image Credit- Twitter X) Recently, some media reports have claimed that Pakistan cricket team’s fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi has turned down the offer of vice-captaincy of the team before the upcoming T20 World Cup. So after Afridi turned down the captaincy of the national team, reports of soured relations between Shaheen and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have also started gaining momentum. If ESPN Cricinfo reports are to be believed, PCB wanted to make Shaheen an assistant to Babar Azam in the upcoming T20 World Cup, but now the 24-year-old bowler has directly refused to take this role in the Pakistani team. It is worth noting that recently Shaheen Afridi was removed from the captaincy of the T20 team of the Pakistan cricket team and Bazam Azam was given the captaincy of all three formats. However, after this incident, once again an attempt was made by the PCB to bring Shaheen into the team’s leadership group, but now the cricketer has refused to take this role. So after Shaheen rejected the offer of vice-captaincy, PCB can appoint Shadab Khan or Mohammad Rizwan as the vice-captain of the Pakistani team in the upcoming T20 World Cup. On the other hand, if we give you information about the upcoming T20 World Cup, then this time this multinational tournament is going to start from June 2 under the joint hosting of West Indies and USA. On the other hand, Pakistan will start its title campaign with a match against USA on June 6. This match between the two teams will be played at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Dallas.
