The International Cricket Council (ICC), following an appeal by the BCCI, has now rated the Indore Test pitch “below average” from “poor.”
The ICC said in a press release today that their appeals panel consisting of Wasim Khan ICC General Manager -Cricket and former West Indies spinner and coach Roger Harper, ICC Men’s Cricket Committee Member, were of the opinion that, “while the guidelines had been followed by the Match Referee in accordance with Appendix A of the Pitch Monitoring Process, it was deemed that there was not enough excessive variable bounce to warrant the “poor” rating. Instead, the appeal panel concluded that the pitch should be rated as “below average”.
