T20 World Cup 2024: Drop-in pitches installed at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York
T20 World Cup 2024 starts from June 2 Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2024. Let us tell you that this time the Multination Tournament will be played jointly hosted by West Indies and USA from June 2. However, compared to the West Indies, the USA lacks a bit of cricket infrastructure. But before the Multination Tournament, ICC seems to be reducing this shortfall quite rapidly. In this sequence, drop-in pitches have been installed at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York today. Let us tell you that just like the drop in pitches are prepared in Adelaide Oval, Australia, these pitches were being prepared in Florida since December last year. Also, these matches have been prepared from Tahoma Bermuda’s number 31 special grade grass. The construction of the pitches was overseen by Adelaide Oval Turf Solutions and US-based sports turf specialist Landtec Group. The pitches were being taken special care of for the last three months. A total of four pitches have been laid in the middle ground of the stadium, while there are 6 more pitches in the stadium complex on which teams can practice. On the other hand, after the installation of the pitch in the stadium, ICC Head of Events Chris Tetley said – The installation of these pitches is the final form of the project, which is unprecedented in international cricket. We have taken a deliberate and planned approach to this project, utilizing the best in the business in Damien Hough to ensure we have the best possible playing pitches for the eight World Cup matches in New York. Let us tell you that on June 3, the first and overall fourth match between Group D team South Africa and Sri Lanka will be seen on this ground. The stadium has been designed on the lines of state of art, which has a capacity of 34 thousand spectators.

Virat Kohli. (Photo Source: ETV) On the occasion of upcoming World Heritage Day, (April 18), a wax statue of Virat Kohli will be installed in Nahargarh Jaipur Wax Museum. The first look of the wax statue was released on 12 April. Virat’s wax statue weighs 35 kg while his height is 5 feet 9 inches. Virat’s costumes have been made by Bollywood designer Bodh Singh. Regarding this, Anoop Srivastava, Founder Director of Jaipur Wax Museum, said that for the last one year, there was a demand to make a statue of Virat Kohli from tourists crazy about Virat, especially small children and youth. His opinion was that King Kohli’s statue should definitely be in the museum. We have decided that now that Virat has become a sports icon for children and youth, what could be a better opportunity than this. Statues of some great cricket players are already present in Jaipur Wax Museum. Let us tell you that wax statues of former Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni and ‘God of Cricket’ Sachin Tendulkar are already present in this museum. Now the addition of Virat Kohli’s statue further strengthens the museum’s commitment to preserving the legacy of India’s cricket greats. Apart from this, the museum also includes wax statues of great personalities like Swami Vivekananda, Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar. Director Anup Srivastava said that we have always had a clear decision regarding the selection of statues that instead of celebrities, those great personalities who can inspire our future generations should be given a place in the museum. Till now, wax statues of 44 big personalities have been installed in the museum. Jaipur Wax Museum is the first such museum which is built in an almost 300 year old fort. Also, it is different from other museums of the world because every effigy here has been installed with a specially made set. Where each backdrop is adorned with hand-painted paintings, murals, exclusive mannequin accessories, exclusive photo walls and a special scent. The special thing about Jaipur Wax Museum is that Jaipur Royal Family figures are also installed in the royal court made of gold work carving.
