As, Recently ICC introduced some punishable laws for the players for any kind of disrespect towards the game, it was obvious that the governing body wants a fair play. But, Now A incident, occurred during ongoing test between Sri Lanka and Pakistan, started a new debate.
Former Pakistan fast bowler Waqar Younis has demanded red cards for match officials too after umpire Richard Kettleborough was seen showing displeasure after his on-field decision had been overturned by the TV umpire during the first Test between Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
On the second day of play, Kettleborough had given a Sri Lankan batsman out LBW. However, as the DRS was taken, replays showed that the ball had struck the bat first.
As the decision was overturned, Kettleborough gave the sign for ‘not out’ but not before showing his displeasure and mumbling a few words.
Waqar, who was commentating, posted a video on this Twitter about the incident.
“Lets see how good are u in lip reading !!! should’nt the red cards be flashed against match officials if they cross the line ??? PAKvsSL,” Waqar posted on his twitter handle.
