These Hybrid pitches combine natural turf with synthetic fibers, designed to offer enhanced durability and consistent playability. 

India's first-ever 'hybrid pitch' installed at HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala

India have reached a significant milestone with the unveiling of their first-ever 'hybrid pitch' at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala.

India have reached a significant milestone in cricket infrastructure with the unveiling of their first-ever 'hybrid pitch' at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium in Dharamsala. The inauguration, held this Monday, marks a pivotal moment for cricket in the country, promising to enhance the sport's infrastructure significantly.
The event saw the presence of several notable figures, including IPL Chairman Arun Dhumal and former England cricketer Paul Taylor, who is also the International Cricket Director at SIS, the company behind the technology. They were joined by other cricket dignitaries to celebrate this innovation.
Dhumal, a native of Himachal Pradesh, expressed his enthusiasm for this advancement in cricket technology. "The introduction of hybrid pitches is set to revolutionize cricket in India, following their success in iconic venues like Lord's and The Oval in England," he stated during the ceremony. This new pitch type combines natural turf with synthetic fibers, designed to offer enhanced durability and consistent playability. This innovation is expected to alleviate some of the burdens on ground staff while ensuring that the pitch remains in top condition.
The hybrid pitch incorporates a mere 5% synthetic fibers, ensuring that the essential natural characteristics of a cricket pitch are maintained, thus preserving the traditional playing conditions beloved by players and fans alike.
Paul Taylor, who played a significant role in this project, acknowledged the collaborative efforts with HPCA. "With the ICC's approval, we're excited to see the positive impact these pitches will have on the sport, starting with installations in Mumbai and Ahmedabad next," he commented, highlighting the broader roll-out plans for India.
The creation and installation of the hybrid surface were facilitated by the 'Universal Machine', developed by SISGrass in 2017. This technology has already been successfully implemented in various county cricket grounds across England, paving the way for its introduction in international venues.
This development is in line with the International Cricket Council's (ICC) recent approval of hybrid pitches for use in T20 and one-day international matches. Plans are also underway to incorporate these pitches in the four-day county championships starting this year.
Additionally, the use of advanced technology like the SISAir system, which aerates the roots, further enhances the pitch's quality. This system is crucial for maintaining the health and resilience of the pitch, thereby offering players safer and better playing conditions.

Dharamsala received rain throughout the day on the eve of the South Africa vs Netherlands ODI World Cup 2023 match

Days after the International Cricket Council (ICC) rated the outfield at the HPCA stadium as 'average', the Dharamsala outfield is in focus yet again.

However, Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) secretary Avnish Parmar told The Indian Express that there was no threat to Tuesday's game and the ground staff was fully equipped.

The ground is set to host 3 more World Cup games including the India-New Zealand match this Sunday. But as the patchy outfield was made even muddier after rain, playing conditions at Dharamsala is likely to remain a topic of discussion going forward.

The ICC has rated the outfield at the HPCA stadium in Dharamsala as 'average'. What will happen to the England vs Bangladesh ODI World Cup 2023 game now?

Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott had stated that Mujeeb Ur Rahman was lucky to escape serious injury on a visibly patchy outfield at this ground.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has rated the outfield at the HPCA stadium in Dharamsala 'average'.
It came after Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott said that Mujeeb Ur Rahman was lucky to escape serious injury on a visibly patchy outfield at this ground.
'We see in cricket players being encouraged to improve their fielding but if they are afraid to dive, I mean we&rsquo;re lucky Mujeeb (Ur Rahman) didn&rsquo;t have a serious knee injury towards the end. We saw Devon Conway from New Zealand early on as well (in the tournament opener against England on Thursday). Something for them to look at but I&rsquo;m definitely not putting any blame on that for our loss today,' the former England batsman had stated.
Following this, ICC&rsquo;s independent pitch consultant Andy Atkinson conducted an inspection on Sunday and gave this verdict after that.
Thankfully, the outfield is good to go for Tuesday&rsquo;s England vs Bangladesh game.
'The ICC independent pitch consultant has taken a look at the outfield and is comfortable with the conditions &ndash; as is Javagal Srinath, the Match Referee for the next game,' an ICC spokesperson stated.

With the government getting frightened over the increase in tourists visiting the hill stations, a boy in Dharamshala&nbsp;schooled every passing tourist to wear mask.

'Revenge travel' in Covid pandemic: boy schools mask-less tourists, govt says trend is 'frightening'

With even the government expressing concern over the flouting of Covid-19 norms by the overcrowding tourists in&nbsp;the two hilly states, this little boy kept reminding the grown-ups of their civic duty.&nbsp;

Stressing that the pandemic was not yet over, officials described the images of large numbers of people thronging popular hill stations as "frightening".

The Union Health Ministry on Tuesday expressed concern over people roaming in hill stations and markets without following COVID-19-appropriate behaviours and warned that such laxity can nullify the gains made in the management of the pandemic so far.
Stressing that the pandemic was not yet over, officials described the images of large numbers of people thronging popular hill stations as "frightening".
"People are indulging in revenge travel with restrictions being lifted. Some photos published in the media of Manali and Shimla in Himachal Pradesh, Mussoorie in Uttarakhand, Sadar Bazar and Laxmi Nagar in Delhi, and Dadar market in Mumbai show a huge crowd roaming around without following social distancing and wearing masks.
"People need to understand that the virus and the disease is still here. People roaming in hill stations and markets without maintaining physical distance and not wearing masks can nullify the gains made in the management of the pandemic so far," joint secretary in the health ministry Lav Agarwal said as he stressed on following Covid-appropriate behaviour and vaccination.
Stating that the pictures from hill stations and markets are "frightening", ICMR Director General Balram Bhargava said some states in the country are still struggling with the second wave of COVID-19.
"The second wave of COVID-19 has come down in most states. However, some states are still in the midst of the second wave." "The areas reporting a test positivity rate of over 10 per cent have to impose/ reinstate certain restrictive measures which have shown to be time tested and found to be effective because the virus is still lurking around," he said.
If the test positivity rate is below 5 per cent then it is a good sign and some of the restrictions can be eased. And the same momentum of high-level testing needs to be maintained, he underlined.
Agarwal said as many as 73 districts across 17 states and union territories, including Arunachal Pradesh (18 districts), Rajasthan (10), Manipur (9), Kerala (7), Meghalaya (6), Tripura (4), Sikkim (4), Odisha (3) and Nagaland (3), reported more than 10 per cent Covid positivity rate in the week from June 29 to July 5.
Eighty per cent of the new Covid cases in India are being reported from 90 districts across 14 states and union territories, including Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Karnataka, indicating the need for focused attention in these areas, he said.
According to sources, the health ministry is writing to these 14 states and union territories that are reporting high positivity in India.
The ministry is also likely to write to the Himachal Pradesh government over rampant flouting of Covid-appropriate behaviour and social distancing norms in Shimla and Manali, a source said.
Bhargava said testing has played such a key role in the fight against this pandemic and testing has to continue at a very very high level.
"Currently we are doing 1400 tests per million which is 10 times the recommendation of the World Health Organisation but we should continue because during the second wave much of our public health response was guided by the test positivity rate and that really helped us bring this wave down very very fast.
"Today, we have about 73 districts which have more than 10 per cent positivity. We have about 65 districts which have about 5-10 per cent positivity and 595 districts where it is below 5 per cent," he said.
Bhargava further said district-specific measures should continue to be guided by test positivity rate.
Noting that the community has to be engaged for Covid-appropriate behaviour, Bhargava pitched for rapid vaccination of priority groups.
"We should continue to be cautious and we should continue to be responsible," he said.
On a positive note, Agarwal said, daily new cases continued to show a decline during the second wave and the number of districts reporting more than 100 daily new COVID-19 cases has reduced from 531 in the week ending May 4 to 91 in the week ending July 4.
On the rise in cases in the Northeast, Bhargava said, "We are encouraging the northeastern states to do more testing...there is heavy testing going on there..." On a query on Covaxin booster dose, Bhargava said it is in scientific ideation stage and it is not well known for how long vaccine efficacy will last.
"Phase 3 studies will also have follow-up. If Covid infection takes place then for 7-12 months the Covid antibodies persist," he said.
Agarwal added that the booster dose is in research state and as more evidence comes it will be presented.
Bhargava said the latest Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) study on Covishield shows it is effective against Delta variant.
Responding to a question, Bhargava said it is an established fact that Covid can lead to rise in clotting.
"If blood flow is not there then Avascular necrosis can happen... so serious Covid patients are given blood thinner. The clots and thrombosis cases have been seen since the beginning and anti-coagulation is given," he said.
