IND vs ENG: BCCI Asks Ball Makers To Recheck Quality, SG Promises Improvement

By IANS News February 11, 2021 • 11:47 AM View: 1077

The Indian cricket board has asked Sanspareils Greenlands (SG), manufacturers of the cricket ball being used in the ongoing Test series, to look into its quality following complaints from India captain Virat Kohli and his teammates, including its seam not lasting long enough.

"The BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) had asked us to look into the matter. We told them we will assess. Since some players have complained about the pitch [Ishant Sharma had termed it a 'road', R Ashwin also hinted at pitch being the cause of seam tearing], we will have to assess the ball's reaction on such wickets also," Paras Anand, SG Marketing Director, told IANS on Wednesday.
