India, Aug. 28 -- Surrey County Cricket Club has placed its head groundsman Lee Fortis on leave following a fresh internal altercation at The Oval on Friday. Fortis gained international attention last year after an explosive verbal argument with India head coach Gautam Gambhir during India's tour of England.
