After the meeting, Gambhir asked the Pitch Josh Marden curator to create a surface that reproduces the conditions expected during the tour. Marden confirmed that he has received detailed contributions from coaches staff.
“Yes, coaches staff, including Gautam Gambir and others, told us about their internal meeting,” Marden told Revsportz.
“Their message was clear:” We want a good pitch. Not something too flat or too green, but something that will really help the match preparation.
The floor here naturally plays on battery – Josh Marden
India is currently training on a surface suitable for strikers, but the height curator Josh Marden has said that he still offers enough help for sailors. The drive locations used by India and Australia in Kent have a little more grass compared to the typical white ball tracks.
“Yes, and no. The ground here plays naturally respectful of the bat, so visually, the counter can look dry or flat. But we manage the density of the grass, not only what you see, but its thickness,” revealed Marden.
“The locations currently used by India and Australia have a little more grass than our usual white ball surfaces. It is a subtle balance. Even with a brown surface, there is enough life for couts, if you hit the right length,” he added.
Team India to face India has an intra-squad match in Beckenham on June 13
India is expected to start its campaign in the new ICC world test championship cycle with a series of five -game tests in England. The senior team of 18 members will play a four-day intra-squad match against India in Beckenham, from June 13.
KL Rahul, who joined India before the match, impressed with scores of 116 in the first round and 51 in the second. Karun Nair scored a double century (204 out of 281) in the first match, giving selectors something to think before the opening of the series in Headingley in Leeds on June 20.
India has not won a series of tests in England since 2007. Their last series in England ended with a 2-2 draw during the 2021-222 tour.
