Wi vs eng test match canceled at day 1: A Test match was played between England and West Indies in 1998, which was canceled on the first day. The biggest reason for the cancellation of this match was the pitch, on which this Test match was being played between the two teams. The pitch of this ground was so bad that it became very difficult for any batsman to bat on it.

Dangerous pitch of Sabina Park

The first incident in cricket history when the England team went on a tour of West Indies. Test matches were to be played between these two teams at the Sabina Park Cricket Stadium in Jamaica. In the first match of this series, England captain Michael Atherton won the toss and decided to bat first and asked the West Indies captained by Brine Lara to bowl.

England won the toss expensive

England won the toss and made the decision thoughtfully, but batting first became very expensive to the players of this team. The pitch report of this ground of Sabina Park was saying that this pitch could be quite dangerous during the last innings, due to which England thought more right to bat in the first and third innings. But this match went on in such a way that even England’s first innings could not end.

The result came out without playing the match

When the England team came out to bat, it was impossible for the English players to withstand the balls of West Indies bowler Katli Ambros and Katni Walsh. In the game of some time of this match, England players suffered many injuries. After this, when England scored 3 wickets for 17 runs, the match was stopped and the result was removed that the match could not be played on this dangerous pitch, so that the first Test match of this series was drawn without playing without full.
