The International Cricket Council (ICC) has changed the rating for the
third Test between India and Australia, which was held in Indore’s Holkar
Stadium.
The apex body had given ‘poor’ rating to the pitch after the match
ended well within three days, in a 9-wicket victory for the tourists. The
ICC has now changed its verdict on the pitch, calling it ‘below average’.In a statement, the ICC said: “The pitch for the third Test of the
Border-Gavaskar series was initially rated as ‘poor’ and received three
demerit points. However, after an appeal from the Board of Control for
Cricket in India (BCCI), the rating has been changed from ‘poor’ to ‘below
average’.”
