Pakistan uses unique technique to prepare pitch for West Indies Test series

The Pakistan cricket team management has planned a strategy for the upcoming Test series against the West Indies. 

 

The ground staff has been instructed to create pitches that will be helpful for spin bowlers. Head Curator Tony Hemming has introduced a new method to keep the pitches dry and spin-friendly.

 

To achieve this, Hemming has introduced the 'Greenhouse' idea in Pakistan cricket. The pitch is completely covered with special covers, and heaters are placed inside on both sides of the covers. The method helps maintain warmth and prevents moisture from affecting the pitch. The main goal of using the greenhouse method is to eliminate  moisture caused by fog in Multan.

 

The West Indies cricket team, led by captain Kraigg Brathwaite, has reached Pakistan for the two-match Test series. The first test will begin on January 17, and the second will be played from January 25, both in Multan.
