Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023: ‘I want the ball to turn from Day 1,’ says Ravi Shastri

The Hindu  

Ian Chappell, former Australia captain, has expressed his desire for curators across the world to be given the freedom to prepare sporting Test match pitches while former India head coach Ravi Shastri hoped the Border-Gavaskar Trophy pitches will see turning tracks to suit India, the home team. Surely a curator has been a player and wants to produce a good pitch,” Chappell said on Monday, three days ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy opener in Nagpur. Shastri, who was in conversation with Chappell during an online event organised by Star Sports, the series broadcaster, deferred with his fellow expert. Australia, meanwhile, travelled to Nagpur after training on turning tracks in Bengaluru last week.
