PCB Appoints Tony Hemming as Chief Curator for Two Years

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has taken a significant step towards enhancing the quality of its pitches by appointing Tony Hemming, a renowned Australian curator, on a two-year contract. This marks the first time the PCB has offered a long-term contract to a foreign curator.

Hemming, a native of Western Australia, brings a wealth of experience to the role. He has worked with the International Cricket Council (ICC) and has over four decades of expertise in pitch and outfield management. His portfolio includes working on prestigious grounds such as Melbourne, Perth, and Hobart, as well as supervising tracks in Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

The PCB has entrusted Hemming with the responsibility of improving the quality of pitches for the upcoming home series against Bangladesh, England, and West Indies. He will also oversee the preparation of pitches for the domestic season.

"Hemming will also oversee pitch preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which Pakistan will host from 19 February to 9 March," the PCB stated in a press release.

The appointment of Hemming is a testament to the PCB's commitment to providing world-class playing surfaces for its teams and international visitors. Hemming's expertise and experience will be invaluable in ensuring that Pakistan's pitches meet the highest standards and provide a fair and competitive environment for all.
