International Cricket Council (ICC) announced that the pitch of third Test match between India and South Africa in Nagpur has been rated as “poor.”
In accordance with Clause 3 of the Process, ICC Match Referee Jeff Crowe submitted his report to the ICC expressing the concerns of the match officials over the performance of the pitch.
This report has been forwarded to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), which now has 14 days to provide its response.
After the BCCI has submitted its response, ICC’s General Manager – Cricket, Geoff Allardice, and the ICC’s Chief Match Referee, Ranjan Madugalle, will consider all the evidence, including studying video footage of the match, before reaching their decision on whether or not the pitch was poor and if so, whether a penalty should be imposed.
