ICC shoots off letter to BCCI over Kanpur trak

Mumbai, April 16:: After Match Referee Roshan Mahanama gave a thumbs-down to the Kanpur dustbowl where India tamed South Africa within three days, the International Cricket Council has shot off a letter to the BCCI seeking an explanation.

Mahanama was less than impressed after the third and final Test in Kanpur’s Green Park Stadium ended inside three days with the hosts cantering to an eight-wicket win that also helped them level the three-match series.

Yawning cracks and uneven bounce made life difficult for the batsmen on the track, prompting Mahanama to submit an unflattering report to the ICC.

Reacting to Mahanama’s report, ICC sent a letter to the BCCI, seeking an explanation.

“A letter has been sent to the BCCI. The process was initiated by Match Referee Roshan Mahanama and ICC sent a letter to the BCCI after getting his report. We are awaiting a reply,” ICC Chief Executive Malcolm Speed said in Mumbai, on Wednesday.

BCCI Chief Administrative Officer Ratnakar Shetty, however, sought to downplay the event and refused to call it a notice from the ICC.

“It’s a normal process where the Match Referee submits a pitch report to the ICC at the end of the match, a copy of which is also given to the Board”, he said.
