International Ban on Kotla after pitch fiasco????

10:19 PM Posted by India Report


The Ferozeshah Kotla stood disgraced yesterday after the fifth and final India-Sri Lanka ODI was abandoned following visiting captain Kumar Sangakkara's refusal to play on a dangerous pitch, raising the possibility of the venue being banned for a minimum of one year.

The pitch fiasco, which brought an abrupt and embarrassing end to the five-match series which India won 3-1, has cast a shadow of uncertainty over Delhi's prospects of hosting 2011 World Cup matches.

As per the ICC Pitch and Outfield Monitoring Process, a first time breach could invite"a suspension of the venue's international status for a period of between 12 and 24 months together with a directive for appropriate remedial action and the need for prior ICC re-accreditation as an international venue".
