T20 world cup in New York thrown in doubt; ICC speaks out on pitch controversy
Despite the growing fear over the nature of the pitches in New York for the T20 World Cup, there have been no plans to shift the matches out of Nassau County International Cricket Stadium.
A report from the BBC has said, “India has privately voiced their unhappiness with the unpredictable bounce and two-paced nature of the strips amid worries over the safety of their batters.”
The match between the India and Pakistan cricket teams is going to be held in New York on Sunday.

The report further said, “The International Cricket Council is believed to be analyzing data from previously abandoned games to establish how to react should it need to act. However, ICC officials have maintained that there are no contingency plans in place to switch any of the New York games to venues in Florida or Texas, both of which have natural turf strips.
“It is understood an unused pitch has been designated for the India vs. Pakistan showdown, although there is flexibility to alter that decision depending on how other pitches play before that encounter.”
