India's much-anticipated T20 World Cup clash against Pakistan hangs in the balance as captain Rohit Sharma faces an injury scare. During a recent net session, the 37-year-old batsman was struck on his left thumb, raising concerns about his availability for the high-profile match.

Adding to India's woes is the ongoing controversy surrounding the pitch at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. The uneven and slow outfield has drawn criticism, with the International Cricket Council (ICC) acknowledging the subpar pitch conditions.

The ICC, in a statement, admitted that the pitches haven't performed as expected and confirmed efforts are underway to improve the surfaces for the remaining matches. This statement follows observations and feedback regarding the pitch's behavior during the ongoing tournament.

The BCCI is also reportedly considering filing an unofficial complaint with the ICC regarding the pitch conditions. With Rohit's injury adding to the pitch concerns, a cloud of uncertainty hangs over India's preparation for their crucial match against Pakistan.
