LAHORE: Australia’s Tony Hemming has officially assumed his role as Pakistan’s new chief curator. The highly experienced curator arrived in Lahore on Monday and immediately began assessing the Gaddafi Stadium pitch conditions.

Hemming brings a wealth of experience to the role, having worked at iconic cricket grounds in Australia and served as the ICC’s Head Curator from 2007 to 2017. His immediate focus will be on preparing pitches for Pakistan’s Test matches against Bangladesh and England, as well as overseeing preparations for the 2025 Champions Trophy. The PCB is optimistic that Hemming’s expertise will contribute significantly to improving pitch quality in Pakistan and enhancing the overall cricketing experience.
