Female Pitch Curator Praised After England vs India Test

Female Pitch Curator Praised After England vs India Test

In a recent cricket match between India and England, everyone was impressed by the pitch, which helped both the batsmen and the bowlers.

The person who made the pitch was a woman named Jasmine Nicholls, who is the first female pitch curator at the Headingley cricket ground.

She used to organize events, but when events stopped during the pandemic, she started working on the ground staff.

She learned how to make pitches by working on smaller club grounds.

She also worked on the Women's Ashes pitches.

It is special because it is unusual for women to work on pitches.

In England, more women are becoming curators, but in India, there's only one known woman in this role.
