London: It's common for matches to be halted when it rains, but the ECB is looking for a way to stop this from happening. According to a recent report, the board's leadership is considering the use of enormous tents to shield the pitch and ensure play continues uninterrupted.London: Many times the match had to be stopped due to rain, but now it will not be so. Because the top officials of the England and Wales Cricket Board are considering a plan to put ‘huge tents’ to ensure that the game does not stop due to rain. This claim was made today in a report.
The Daily Telegraph reports that the ECB has been collaborating with a US-based firm to research the implementation of a 'mesh net' system. Discussions have already taken place with the MCC, the owners of Lord's Cricket Ground in northwest London. The proposed design involves attaching a transparent mesh to floodlights via cables, then using a hot air balloon to lift the center, creating a giant protective tent over the field.
