IND Vs ENG: Chennai Pitch Likely To Be Slow Despite Grass

By IANS News January 27, 2021 • 23:07 PM View: 1030

Five pitches with a "decent amount of grass" have been prepared for the first India-England Test that begins at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on February 5. The Indian team management will pick the one it deems suitable for the Test and decide on how much grass will be left on the surface.

The MA Chidambaram Stadium has not hosted competitive cricket since the start of the lockdown in March last year and all eyes are on how the surface would behave.
