Karachi: The development work of the India-Pakistan competition field in the T20 World Cup is going on, while the drop-in pitch of New York’s Nassau County Stadium has started being prepared in Florida.
In June this year, the T20 World Cup will be played jointly between the West Indies and the United States. The United States will host a total of 16 matches in Florida, Texas and New York.
The Nassau County Stadium in New York has attracted millions of cricket fans, especially from the subcontinent, where the high-voltage match between Pakistan and India will be played on June 9, but the venue is still under construction, drawing thousands of spectators. A temporary structure is being erected to accommodate the pitches, which will house drop-in pitches that are being manufactured in Florida under the supervision of Damon Hoff, chief curator of the Adelaide Oval in Australia. .
ICC Men’s T20 World Cup USA Chief Executive Brett Jones said that the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium will be equipped with the same drop-in pitch that is currently in the world’s leading stadiums. Designed by Hoff and will be the same as the Adelaide Oval.
Remember that the Adelaide pitch has grass, which initially becomes a bowler’s paradise but as the game progresses, it becomes a batter’s paradise.
Photos of mud and snow at Nassau County Stadium have also been circulating on social media recently, with Jones saying the site was covered in snow in late February, but the situation is much better now. Although we are still dealing with rain and cold weather, we are hopeful of having the stadium completed well in advance of the start of the event. will be complete.
