The Ahmedabad pitch on which India beat England in two days in the third Test will not be punished by the International Cricket Council.
The pitch has been given an 'average' rating by match referee Javagal Srinath, meaning it will not earn any 'demerit points'.
An accumulation of demerit points can lead to venues being suspended from hosting international matches.
India won the third Test by 10 wickets, going on to take the series 3-1.
Pitches and outfields for all internationals are given one of six ratings: very good, good, average, below average, poor, and unfit.
A below-average pitch is given one demerit point, a poor pitch three points, and an unfit pitch five.
If a venue collects five demerit points in a five-year period it can be suspended from hosting international matches for a year.
