[Saba Sports News] Afghanistan’s disappointing loss to Bangladesh in Game 3 of the ODI World Cup 2023 raised concerns about the condition of the sandy outfield at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala.
Jonathan Trott, Afghanistan’s head coach, mentioned the incident involving Mujeeb Ur Rahman, emphasizing that he wasn’t attributing the loss to the outfield but suggesting that officials should address player safety concerns.
Trott expressed his worry about players hesitating to dive due to potential injuries, citing a similar incident involving Devon Conway during the ODI World Cup 2023 opener against England.
While he refrained from blaming the sandy outfield for the loss, he urged organizers to examine the issue for future matches.
