According to Al Jazeera, the first Sri Lanka-India Test in July 2017 and a 2016 match involving Australia were played on a doctored pitch at Galle. When asked how he landed in Sri Lanka, Morris said: “I told them I don’t know any current cricketers but I knew former players. For that, they took me to Doha and Sri Lanka. One of my friends in Sri Lanka has played league cricket. A Test match can last for up to five days.”It wasn’t an entirely ‘bowling pitch’, however.
