PCB had trouble before this too
However, this is not the first time that the Pakistan Cricket Board has come under criticism regarding the pitch. Recently, there was a lot of ruckus on the Rawalpindi pitch used in the first Test match between Pakistan and England. At that time the ICC had also taken strict steps. In fact, the ICC had given Rawalpindi’s pitch a below average rating. Talking about the Rawalpindi Test match, a total of 1768 runs were scored in that match. While the England team scored 506 runs on the first day itself. Apart from this, Pakistan had to face defeat in that match.
What an absolute road. Batters dream! #PAKvNZ
