ICC T20 World Cup 2024: Sunil Gavaskar Blasts ICC, Says Should Not Host Matches Without Full Ground Covers
Earlier in the tournament, Pakistan was eliminated without even playing their match, as the USA vs Ireland game at the Central Broward Regional Park Stadium Turf Ground in Lauderhill, Florida, was also washed out.
Cricket Legend Sunil Gavaskar Expressed His Frustration:
“Request To ICC, that it should not host the matches where there are no covers to cover the entire ground. You just can’t cover the pitch and let the other parts of the ground get wet. So many people were waiting to see top stars in action but they were denied. This should not be the case,” Sunil Gavaskar said.

The final Group A match between India and Canada was called off due to a wet outfield, and both teams were awarded one point each. India topped Group A with seven points, while the USA qualified as the second team with five points. Canada finished third with three points.
