In order to prevent a repeat of the recent pitch disaster during the upcoming Indian Premier League season, the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association (UPCA) has declared that it will appoint two experts for Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium (IPL).
“We are going to appoint two specialists who will take care of the stadium. One will be an expert on the pitch and another will be a professional on the outfield. We are taking required permissions from other state associations to hire their services,” said Ankit Chatterjee, the CEO of the UPCA and confirmed the association’s decision to part ways with the curator responsible for the preparation of the substandard pitch during the recent Twenty20 International.
