Sunil Gavaskar sharply criticized the International Cricket Council (ICC) following the abandonment of the India vs Canada match in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. The game, scheduled to take place on June 15, 2024, in Lauderhill, Florida, was called off without a ball being bowled due to a wet outfield caused by rain.
Gavaskar expressed frustration, arguing that the ICC should have ensured better ground preparation, especially considering the financial resources available to ensure complete ground coverage to prevent such scenarios.
