JAMMU- Former England cricket captain Kevin Pietersen who is here in Jammu for the Legends League is not impressed by the refurbished Maulana Azad Stadium and considers the wicket not good enough for the shortest format of the game.
”The wicket is not good for T20 cricket,” he told reporters on the sidelines of a practice session on Tuesday. “You want to see more runs than see the balls rolling along the ground. Let us see if the wicket is better (for the next match) that will be good. For the teams to finish the game in the 20th over as a few (matches) had gone, it is great for the competition.”
The 43-year-old, who is here as part of the Legends League T20 cricket season 2, praised the opportunity the league offers to retired players to be on the field again as players.
The first of the four matches was played at the 20,000-capacity stadium under floodlights on Monday while the remaining three matches are scheduled for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
