Greater Noida Stadium’s future of hosting international matches depends on Javagal Srinath’s report, here’ how

Live Mint  

The historic one-off Test between Afghanistan and New Zealand at the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex in Greater Noida was called off on Monday without a ball being bowled. Match referee Javagal Srinath's report on Greater Noida Stadium's preparedness will decide the venue's fate in the coming days. The ICC's 'Pitch and Outfield Monitoring Process' rules, which came into effect in November 2023, say, “After each Match, the Match Referee will complete a Pitch and Outfield Report Form and send it to the ICC Senior Cricket Operations Manager.” The 'Pitch and Outfield Report Form' will be compiled using the ICC guidelines for rating pitches and outfields. After this, the ICC senior cricket operations manager will advise the home board on any demerit points – imposed on a host venue that will remain active for a rolling five-year period. In case Greater Noida gets demerit points, local authorities would need the BCCI's deep pockets to make it at least a palatable domestic venue.
