Jeff Crowe, the match referee for the Test, had initially given a “below average” rating for the track, which would have seen the venue receive a demerit point.
While Cricket West Indies would have had the option to appeal Crowe’s verdict in that case, it would have also had to explain to the ICC regarding the sub-standard of the pitch.

The pitch for the second Test at the Queens Park Oval in Port of Spain has received an “average” rating.
