Leicestershire face relegation after pitch penalty, cites Ganguly biopic filming as one of the reasons
Leicestershire's County Championship survival hangs in balance after a 27-point penalty for a poor pitch at Grace Road. Ganguly biopic filming cited as a reason, but panel dismisses it as mitigating factor. Club has 10 days to appeal.
The club had argued that an 'unscheduled filming' of former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly's biopic was held at the ground four days before the Glamorgan fixture, thus preventing the pitch from being covered for eight hours in bright sunshine.
