These hybrid pitches cost close to $16,000 to have them installed in the USA which is close to same as a natural turf wicket. However, these hybrid pitches trump the natural ones over cost and ease of maintenance. These wickets are far more durable and quicker to regenerate which negates the need of having a 'square' or multiple pitches on a cricket ground. A fresh hybrid wicket can be produced within 2 days of watering and rolling, whereas it takes close to 6 weeks to regenerate natural grass. These hybrid wickets also take away the liability of hiring a pitch curator as the regeneration of natural grass is taken out of the equation as watering and rolling aspects are typically general labor that can be easily carried out.
