Kumble also expressed surprise that the pitch wasn't used for a single Ranji trophy match before a major international, and hoped the incident wouldn't be swept under the carpet.
"Had the pitches been properly worked on and a couple of Ranji games played there, these sort of embarrassing situations could have been avoided. I only hope the incident is not swept under the carpet, or forgotten, when the next series comes along."
Kumble was also scathing in his criticism of the existing system, where accountability was non-existent. The answer, Kumble felt, was to professionalize matters.
"The answer to such things is to professionalize matters," he wrote.
"It's the only way to bring in accountability. Under the existing system, the secretaries, curators, pitch committee - none can be held accountable. Get the pros in, make them accountable and you will see changes happening for the good."
Could you please explain to me what "pros in" means in this context?
