The controversial Feroz Shah Kotla pitch braces up to host its first Test after a 12-month ban, DDCA vice-president ChetanChauhan on Friday assured that it will last the entire five days when India and West Indies square off here from Sunday.
Delhi and District Cricket Association officials have been quoted in the media as saying that they could not get the "right mix" of soil and were hoping the lack of bind would not result in a crumbling wicket.
A 12-month ban was placed on the ground after an inspection by an ICC team.
The upcoming Test will the first here since the ban was revoked, though it had hosted one-dayers, during the World Cup and the recent ODI against England.
