KARACHI: Australia’s expert pitch curator Damien Hough inspected the Naya Nazimabad Stadium outfield and square today and interacted with the curator and ground staff.

Details indicate that Hough paid a visit to Naya Nazimabad Stadium today following his Friday visit to the National Stadium, and inspected the pitch and the square.

Hough, the chief curator of Adelaide Oval, met with the groundskeepers and curators at the Naya Nazimabad cricket ground and offered advice on how to improvise the pitch preparation.
