Despite the nation’s history of sluggish, low-turning pitches, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has hinted a totally neutral attitude for the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.
The BCCI reportedly told the curators to use the substance known as Apsa 80. Apsa 80 is a fertilizer that is used on both agricultural and cricket grounds. When rains causes dew to build up on the ground, the use of this chemical helps with penetration and allows improvement of the pitch.
According to a source in MyKhel, a good batting surface is predicted employing the aforementioned chemical because it will give both sides similar chances. Due to rank turners, the side batting second normally has a very difficult time, but the BCCI will not employ that tactic in the ICC mega event. The BCCI has given the Curators instructions to make wickets that will produce high-quality cricket for the entire 100 overs. There won’t be any slow or low-rank turners as a result of the ongoing tournament.
It is important to note that Team India has a strong spin unit. The top body, however, will not take any action that might be seen as proof that they provided the team with an unfair advantage during the competition.
BCCI will lower the dew point for the 2023 World Cup.
Additionally, the BCCI has chosen to lower the dew factor for the current World Cup. The curators have been instructed by the board to stop watering the pitch. Because there will be less moisture on the deck throughout the months of October and November, reducing water delivery to the pitch can assist prevent dew gathering on the deck. The Indian pitch curators are required to keep the grass as short as possible, and the grass’s length is also prescribed.
