Sunil Gavaskar SLAMS ICC Over Rain-Marred Florida Leg in T20 WC 2024 After India-Canada Game Gets CALLED OFF

Florida: The Florida-led of the T20 World Cup 2024 has been disappointing as two games have been washed out due to wet outfield. On Friday, it was the Ireland versus USA game that faced the wrath of nature, and then on Saturday, the India versus Canada game was abandoned. Today, Pakistan play Ireland and that game too is under threat. Former India cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has now lashed out at the ICC, blaming them for the mismanagement.

“My request to the ICC is to ensure there is cover for the entire ground if there is an ICC match. If the venue doesn’t have the covers, don’t give it to that venue. Give it to a ground that has got all covers,” Gavaskar told Star Sports after India and Canada shared a point.

“It’s something that the ICC needs to do. All the ground organisations have to have covers that cover the entire ground. This business of covering only the square everybody has got money now. You can’t give the excuse that you don’t have money for covers. However, good your ground drainage system is, you have covers, the grounds will dry faster. People will get to see some cricket. It’s so important for that important. We saw all those guys come from Tampa, Texas. They have travelled long. Here in America, where do they get to see so many top-class players? Give them the opportunity. So get the covers for the entire ground. Everybody can do that,” he added.
