AHMEDABAD: The ICC in its 'Rules and Regulations' page has updated the ratings of all recent games and the pitch at Motera was rated 'average' for the third 'Test' and 'Good' for the final Test. It was rated 'Very Good' for the first T20International.

Incidentally, the pitch at the SCG for the third Test between India and Australia was also rated 'average'.

A substandard pitch could have attracted sanctions for the refurbished Narendra Modi Stadium.

The pitch was a subject of intense debate during the four-match series which India won 3-1 to qualify for the World Test Championship final. Agencies
