Kotla pitch was unfit for ODI: Harbhajan

Jalandhar, Dec 30 (ANI): Indian off-spinner
Harbhajan Singh said on Wednesday that the
International Cricket Council''s (ICC) classification
of Ferozshah Kotla pitch in Delhi as unfit was a
right decision.
Interacting with the media Singh said: "The wicket
was unfit that day. Batsmen were having a tough
time. The bounce was uneven and chances of
grave injuries were strong. The injuries could
also have led to player being unfit to play for next
3-4 months. Considering the way the wicket
behaved and what happened to players, the
decision of ICC, it was a right decision."
Abandoning the fifth and final One-Day
International between Sri Lanka and India on
Sunday, ICC match referee Alan Hurst had
classified the Kotla track as unfit.
He has given the worst possible rating to the
pitch among six categories - very good, good,
above average, below average, poor and unfit.
The ICC sought an explanation from the Board of
Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday over
the unfit nature of the pitch that led to the
abandonment of the fifth and final one-day
international between Sri Lanka and India. (ANI)
