Azhar Ali and Rashid Latif are expressing valid concerns about the suitability of the venues chosen for cricket matches, particularly in Florida and New York.
The potential for severe weather and substandard pitch conditions could significantly affect the quality of the games and even lead to match cancellations.
Their calls for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to consider relocating the matches to more suitable venues or taking prompt action to address the issues are reasonable.
The ICC should prioritize the welfare of the players and the integrity of the game by ensuring that matches are played under optimal conditions.
Latif’s observation regarding the scheduling of matches during a period known for rain in Lauderhill, Florida, raises questions about the decision-making process behind venue selection for major cricket tournaments like the T20 World Cup.
It’s essential for tournament organizers to take into account weather patterns and pitch conditions to minimize disruptions and ensure a fair competition for all teams involved.
