America will host T20 World Cup on rented equipment, ICC made shocking revelation

T20 World Cup 2024 will be hosted by America and West Indies. ICC made a big revelation regarding the T20 World Cup to be held in the month of June this year, in which it was told that America, which will host the tournament, will make temporary preparations, in which the pitch will be brought from Melbourne and the chairs for the spectators will come from Las Vegas.

Drop-in pitches will be used for the T20 World Cup to be played in America, which will be prepared by Adelaide Oval curator Damien Hough. Now the question might be arising in your mind that what are these drop in pitches? So let us tell you that drop in pitches are such pitches which are made somewhere away from the field and are later brought and laid on the field. Apart from this, a match is to be played between India and Pakistan on June 9 in the tournament, for which a temporary gallery with a capacity of 34,000 spectators will be built and it will be removed after use.

ICC events director Chris Tetley said, “We will be using drop-in pitches, which have already been constructed. We are using the expertise of Adelaide Oval curator Damien Hough, who is an expert in this matter. He constructed and is maintaining the trays, which are in Florida. There will be a sufficient number of trays for the matches, which will be needed in New York. In addition, there will also be trays for the practice pitches. The pitches on which the matches are to be played are brand new. Apart from this, we are also making arrangements to drain the water in case of rain.”

The ICC events director further said, “All the infrastructure will be temporary, as it happens in the world of sports. Some of the equipment of the structures will be brought from Las Vegas, which will be set up and removed after the match. There are 30 million cricket fans in the US. And this is the third largest market. The construction of structures will start from February and their work will be completed by May.”
