As Pakistan team prepares to take England in three-match Test series, the Pakistani batters shared their inputs on preference of the pitch. Following their loss to Bangladesh, the batters have reportedly asked coach Jason Gillespie to tell groundsmen to get a flatter pitch ready.
However, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali mad a claim that Jason wasn’t happy with this and asked them to ‘shut up’.
While the batters are wanting to be given a flat pitch to score runs against England, coach Gillespie doesn’t want grass to be completely shaved off the pitch.
“I will give you an inside story. Jason Gillespie has handed a shut-up call to Pakistan batters. He wants the pitch to remain the same that has been prepared by the groundsman,” Basit said on his official YouTube channel.
“Pakistan batters wanted to cut off the grass to make it a flat pitch. The pitch curator and Gillespie want to play on the same pitch. I would be really happy if the match took place on a grassy surface and our bowlers took wickets,” he further said.
