ICC To Update India, New Zealand With World Test Championship "Playing Conditions" Soon: Report
NDTV
The Indian Team is awaiting response to some questions about the World Test Championship, which the ICC is expected to clear with a list of "Playing Conditions".
What happens if next month's World Test Championship final between India and New Zealand ends in a draw? Or a tie? Or worse, a washout? The Indian cricket team is eagerly awaiting a response to this and other questions concerning the ''Playing Conditions'' for the marquee clash in Southampton from June 18 to 22. The International Cricket Council (ICC) is expected to release the ''Playing Conditions'' in the "coming days". "Since this is not another bilateral series Test match, we need to know about the playing conditions. There are three basic pointers that we need to know," a senior BCCI official privy to the Indian team's requirements told PTI on conditions of anonymity. "What happens in case of a draw, tie or an eventual wash-out without at least one innings of both teams not being completed," he added. "The ICC will be publishing the Playing Conditions in coming days. We can't put a date but I believe they will send it soon."
