Ind v WI 2nd T20I: ICC to investigate Lauderhill 'techincal delay'

Lauderhill: ICC will discuss the 40-minute delay to the start of the second T20 International between India and West Indies here on Sunday in its annual workshop for match officials next month. The delay at the start of the game, for "technical" reasons, robbed the match of a result with rain arriving two overs into the second innings. As the ground conditions were perfect at the regulation start time, the match would have been past the halfway mark of its second innings had it started on time. Only five overs in each innings are required for a result in T20 matches. In reply to West Indies’ 144 all out, India was 15 for no loss in 2 overs when rain interrupted the proceedings. The absence of a super sopper forced the match to be called off and denied India a chance to level the series. "At next month's annual workshop, the match officials will be discussing a wide range of topics, including the second T20I in Florida," an ICC spokesperson was quoted as saying on 'ESPNcricinfo'. The ICC playing conditions have guidelines for delays for only three reasons: rain, poor light, unfit playing surface.
