Rohit Sharma's bruised bicep is expected to heal before the high-stakes India-Pakistan clash. However, the dangerous track at Nassau County is causing alarm. Several former cricket professionals slammed the unsafe pitch conditions.

India opened their T20 World Cup campaign with a win against Ireland, but not without its costs. Both Rohit and Rishabh Pant suffered injuries due to the uneven pitch. A senior BCCI official confirmed that Rohit's injury isn't serious and he should be fit for Sunday’s game.

Former players have openly criticized the pitch, with Irfan Pathan, Michael Vaughan, and Andy Flower all dubbing it unsafe. Despite the backlash, the ICC has yet to issue a response. India’s batting coach Vikram Rathour emphasized the need for the team to adapt quickly to these difficult conditions.
