Leicestershire were fined £5,000 and docked 27 points after their Grace Road pitch was judged poor during the Glamorgan match, the Times of India reported on September 17, 2026.
The club cited extreme heat and an unscheduled Bollywood shoot linked to Sourav Ganguly’s biopic as factors.
A disciplinary panel rejected the filming as a mitigating factor, leaving Leicestershire facing a serious relegation battle.
