Mumbai may forego final
MUMBAI, Oct 17: The International Cricket Council will be requested to shift the Champions Trophy final from the Brabourne stadium here if the wicket does not improve, a senior official said on Tuesday.
Cricket Club of India (CCI) president Raj Singh Dungarpur, whose club oversees the Brabourne Stadium, said he was unhappy at the dusty wicket that had been laid out for the matches here.
“With the monsoon having just ended, our staff did not get enough time to prepare good wickets for the tournament,” Dungarpur said.
“We will see how the wicket behaves on Wednesday when Australia plays the West Indies. If it still has low bounce, I will put my hands up.”—AFP
