Preparing for Cricket Practice on the Turf

Before stepping onto the cricket pitch, players arrange their equipment bags and verify that the pitch screen is positioned correctly. Large screens placed at the boundaries of the field help batters see the coming ball clearly against a neutral backdrop. Setting up gear properly near the turf ensures a safe and focused training session.

Interesting Facts About Cricket Grounds

Cricket pitch screens, often called sight screens, are painted solid white for red ball matches and black for white ball games.

International cricket matches can last from a few hours up to five consecutive days depending on the format played.
