Leicestershire fined, docked 27 points over poor Grace Road pitch
Leicestershire Cricket Club has been fined £5,000 and docked 27 points after their Grace Road pitch was rated poor during a County Championship match against Glamorgan. The club attributed the deteriorating pitch conditions partly to extreme heat and an unscheduled Bollywood filming linked to Sourav Ganguly's biopic. However, the disciplinary panel did not accept the filming as a mitigating circumstance. The penalty leaves Leicestershire in a precarious position, facing a serious threat of relegation in their division.
