Islamabad, June 1: Pakistan white-ball head coach Mike Hesson has responded to discussions about whether the pitches in Pakistan are the ideal preparation for the upcoming ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2027 to be held in South Africa. Speaking about the issue, Hesson said that the World Cup will be jointly hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia, and noted that Pakistan will play matches in Zimbabwe and Namibia, where spin is a major factor at some venues.
Hesson said there has been a "bit of chatter" about the pitches in Pakistan not being the ideal preparation for the tournament. He said the topic was discussed on the latest PCB podcast.
According to Hesson, the belief that all pitches in South Africa are quick and bouncy is a myth. He said while some pitches in the country do offer pace and bounce, conditions vary across different venues.
Hesson also referred to Pakistan's last ODI series in South Africa, which included a match in Paarl where spin played a significant role in determining the outcome.
