Former Australia cricketer Ian Healy was left disappointed seeing Australia's plans to practice on the Nagpur pitch after the conclusion of the first Test not materialising.
The Australian cricket team suffered a horrific loss at the hands of India in the opening Test of the 4-match series in Nagpur. After losing the contest by an innings and 132 runs, the tourists came out with a plan which was to practice on the central wicket in Nagpur after the match concluded within 3 days. However, their plans didn't materialise as the pitch had been watered by the ground staff. Australia Great Ian Healy, however, termed this act by India 'pathetic'. Nagpur curators reportedly watered the pitch after Australia planned to train on it. #INDvAUS pic.twitter.com/fpnusUEOjM
Speaking to SEN, according to news.com.au, has asked for ICC to step in, alleging Australia's efforts to practice on the used Nagpur pitch were 'scuppered' by the hosts.
"It's really embarrassing the scuppering of our plans to get some practice sessions on that Nagpur wicket," Healy said.
