BCCI response required over perilous pitch

New Delhi : The Board of Control for Cricket in India have been given 14 days to respond to match referee Alan Hurst\'s report after Sunday\'s fifth and final one-day international between India and Sri Lanka was abandoned.

The wicket at the Feroz Shah Kotla ground in Delhi was deemed \"too dangerous\" and a switch to a second pitch labelled \"impractical\".

The International Cricket Council sought an explanation from the Indian board, with four matches in the 2011 World Cup scheduled to be held at the stadium.

Play was temporarily suspended midway through Sri Lanka\'s innings yesterday, following a midfield conference between Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara, his India counterpart Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the on-field umpires and match referee Hurst.

The officials, who were joined by members of the staging association, headed for the pavilion for a closed-room discussion before the match was eventually called off.
