Cricket Pitch

Working Plan
The present investigation is an experimental
study on the different soil properties that
affect the cricket pitchs characteristics.

Literaturereview :
History of cricket.
Pitch research .
Factors affecting.
Pitch preparing.
Pitch maintenance.
Experiment set up : Soil sample collection &
Test program

Soil samples will be collected from

selected International cricket stadiums
pitches of Bangladesh.
Need a Permission letter of Thesis
Supervisor for collecting the soil sample
from field.
Expenditure will be tabulated for the
collection of soil sample according to
official procedure , transportation & other
costs.
Determination of soil
properties :
TEST :
Physical and soil classifications test
Grain Size Analysis.
Specific Gravity Test.
Atterberg Limit Tests.
Organic Content tests.
Linear Shrinkage Tests.
Compaction Tests.
Physical and soil classification test

Liquid limit and plastic limit.

Plasticity test.

Stiffness test.
 New era of the test :

Optimum moisture content was determined by

soil compaction test. Tests were performed to
establish a relationship of compacted strength
with moisture content using moisture content
below optimum & various of moisture content.
The effect of organic content on the various
Sample may be tested.
various other tests.
Analysis of Data :

Analyze of the data and relate it with

different results which will be obtained
from the soil test.

Analyze The Graph & make decisions.

CONCLUSIONS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUTURE
STUDIES :
Effect of soil type & silt content.
Effect of moisture content and its variation.
Effect of compaction.
Effect of organic content and its variation.
Effect of grain size distribution.
Effect of stiffness.
Effect of additive elements.
Effect of grass on the surface.
