Hybrid cricket pitches at the forefront of American cricket revolution
USA Cricket’s strategic partners ACE and owners of Major League Cricket (MLC) are aiming to scale this dearth of cricketing infrastructure in a very non-conventional albeit seemingly effective way. ACE have collaborated with GABBA, a company from Australia that produces hybrid turf cricket pitches. Read More >>
The hybrid cricket pitch was designed and developed by Tony Hemming Head Curator of Dubai’s ICC Academy, researched by using different materials from other sporting codes and native cricket soils from around the world.
It gives the cricketer the same variation depending on moisture in the soil, which allows for a more natural bounce, seam & spin of a pitch. It also much easier to maintain for the groundsmen and pitch preparation time is reduced to one day. Foot holes are barely in need of repair.
Our Hybrid H3 wicket combines the qualities of a natural and a synthetic pitch. This innovative design uses a high-quality synthetic grass filled with natural soil, smoothed to below the level of the pile height. The result is a low maintenance surface that is fast to prepare, but responds to changes in the moisture content in the soil, allowing the Bounce, Seam and Spin of a natural pitch.
The variations mimicked by this wicket are very similar to the spin-friendly pitches prepared in the subcontinent. Installed in the Bupa National Cricket Centre in Brisbane, this wicket has been used by the Australian team in preparations for campaigns overseas.

Testing
Over the last 5 years the Pitch has endured the desert elements and has been used over 600 + hours. We have taken clegg hammer readings of 300gravitates and compared them with our readings from both artificial cricket pitches & Natural turf cricket pitches. The Hybrid can get very hard like a 3rd day test pitch. By using different clays each pitch can change the characteristics to home ground advantage.
We have had professional teams like Kent, Lancashire, Durham, Indian Premier League teams, ICC Associate countries and International teams such as Pakistan, England, South Africa, Sri lanka . All have been positive in comments, England coach Peter Moores “It’s amazing this had not been tried before, it really challenges the batmen & bowlers”.
