Australian captain Pat Cummins was seen capturing images of the Ahmedabad pitch intended for the ICC World Cup final against India at the Narendra Modi International Stadium on Sunday. His photograph gained traction on social media, sparking speculation that Cummins might use it as evidence if the pitch undergoes changes on match day.
During a press conference on Saturday morning, Cummins addressed the controversy, stating, “We’ll be ready in terms of anything they’ll throw at us. Yeah, we’ll wait and see, but we’ll make sure we have some plans.”
The pitch controversy unfolded when the Board of Control for Cricket in India faced allegations of interference in selecting the pitch for India’s semifinal against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The last-minute switch to pitch six, from the initially planned pitch seven, resulted in India playing on a strip previously used in two other matches – England versus South Africa and India versus Sri Lanka.
