Mohammed Shami Dharamshala Outfield: Even before the start of the World Cup 2023, many people had raised questions on the outfield of the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala. The 21st match of the tournament was played between the teams of India and New Zealand in this stadium. Earlier, the teams of Afghanistan, England and Bangladesh have criticized the outfield of this ground. In such a situation, even after this match, Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami was asked a question about the outfield of the stadium.
Shami’s big statement on Dharamshala’s outfield
Indian fast bowler Mohammed Shami, while talking about the Dharamshala outfield, said that he had no complaints with the outfield as it was the same for both the teams. But it would be better if it was better. Shami said in the press conference after the match that you have seen how the outfield is. There are no complaints as the conditions were similar for both the teams. Can’t even say anything to the field workers because they too have their own compulsions. It is not right to raise any questions. The situation is the same for both the teams, both had to play in the same. There are ups and downs even outside India. We also play on wet grounds. No complaints but the better you get the better.
Daryl Mitchell said this on fielding
New Zealand players were seen several times blocking runs by placing dye on the outfield and Daryl Mitchell, who scored a century for the team, said they have set some standards and want to stick to them. Mitchell said that it is a beautiful place to play cricket. You can see the mountains and it looks spectacular. There are certain standards in our Black Caps team that you will do everything possible to help the team win the match and this also includes stopping the ball by jumping on the boundary line. We pride ourselves as Black Caps in doing this and we will continue to do so, no matter where in the world we play.
