Asian cricketing nations have a long history of adapting to fast and bouncy wickets. The batsmen of the subcontinent got into trouble due to extra bounce and speed, especially in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and England.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has taken a very effective step to overcome this problem. The PCB has decided to use a drop-in pitch at a cost of Rs 36 crore to allow its batsmen to practice on bouncy and fast wickets.
Drop-in pitch means making a wicket of the character of your choice from the outside and placing it in place of the pitch in the field. Using this facility, it is possible to get fast wickets in Pakistan like Australia or New Zealand.
The use of this drop-in pitch is one of the various initiatives taken by the PCB to develop cricket across the country. PCB chairman Ramiz Raja said two drop-in pitches would be set up in Karachi and Lahore. Which will cost 36 crore rupees.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Sunday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Arif Habib Group on a drop-in pitch during the Pakistan Super League players' draft. Originally, Arif Habib Group would bring two drop-in pitches at a cost of Rs 36 crore.
According to the agreement, a drop-in pitch will be set up at the New Nazimabad Cricket Stadium in Karachi. The other will be informed in time where it will be placed. The PCB hopes that the installation of this drop-in pitch will be completed by 2022.
