What is the specialty of ‘Drop in Pitch’ and what is it? ‘Drop in pitch’ is a pitch that is made somewhere away from the ground or venue and then brought to the stadium and laid there. This allows the same field to be used for many different types of sports, such as football, rugby and other sports.
Let us tell you that since December, ten ‘drop-in pitches’ have been made in Florida. All of these pitches are being constructed under the guidance of Adelaide Oval Turf Solutions, led by Damier Hogg, Chief Curator of Adelaide Oval. According to the statement issued by ICC, 4 pitches will be installed at Nassau Stadium, while 6 will be installed at nearby practice venues.
