Headingley Cricket Ground Pitch Curator: India vs England first Test will be played on Friday, 20 June at the Handingley Cricket Ground. Earlier, the statement of the pitch curator has come, he has told how the pitch will behave. According to him, this test can be of a full 5 days, not that the result of the match will be removed in 3 days.
This will be the first match of Shubman Gill as a Test captain, in front of him will be experienced Ben Stokes. There are many challenges for the batsmen in the first Test, meanwhile the pitch curator has also said that in the beginning, swing and seam movement will be seen here, it is going to benefit fast bowlers.
Talking to the pitch curator Richard Robinson, while talking to Revsportz, said, “Ghans will be cut. There is a very hot weather here, so we are pouring a lot of water on the pitch so that they stayed for 5 days. Hopefully it will be a 5 -day test, not 3 days but a 5 -day test.”
The curator has hoped that as the match progresses, the batsmen will help because the wicket will be touched. He said, “Hopefully, the pitch will be helpful for the batsmen and bowlers. The first bowlers get help and then as the match progresses, the pitch will be flattened.
300 score will be good in first innings
The pitch curator Robinson said that the score of 300 will be good for whichever team will bat in the first innings. He believes that in the second and third innings, batsmen can get more help and can become more than the average score. He said, “If you score 300 runs in the first innings, then it will be a good score, more runs can be scored in the next two innings.”
