Mirpur Wicket Is Not Satisfactory: BCB
Bangla National Cricket Stadium: Nazmul Abedin, chairman of the Bangladesh Cricket Board’s cricket operations, stated on Friday that the board never instructed the grounds committee to prepare a low and slow wicket at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, while also admitting that the pitch condition was not up to the mark.
Bangladesh recently secured a 2-1 series win over Pakistan at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium, but the victory sparked criticism. Many observers argued that the hosts gained an unfair advantage by winning the first two matches on a pitch that made stroke play difficult. Their vulnerabilities were exposed in the third T20I, played on a comparatively better surface.
"I think there was an attempt to make it sporting, but they couldn't do it. That responsibility lies with those who are in charge of preparing it. Because from our side - from the board's side - I don't think it was ever instructed that the wicket has to be low and slow," Cricbuzz quoted Nazmul as saying.
