Pakistan cricket and controversy go hand-in-hand as it has been proven once again. On just the second day of the ongoing Pakistan Super League (PSL), the tournament has landed in hot water thanks to a bizarre incident that took place during the game between Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi on Friday.
During Karachi Kings’ sensational 10-run victory over former champion Peshawar Zalmi, former’s official was spotted using a mobile phone in the players’ dugout.
As per the ICC’s rule, mobile phones are banned from dressing rooms and players along with members of team management are allowed to use only walkie-talkies. Many players are often seen using a walkie-talkie in a T20 match in order to communicate from the dugout to dressing room.
After the match, the Kings’ Media Manager Faisal Mirza said that Tariq Wasi, who was later identified as the one using the mobile phone, was the team’s manager. However, according to the team sheet issued at the toss, Navaid Rasheed was named as the side’s manager.
The entire incident was broadcasted live on Friday and fans were quick to take note of the indisciplined act and mocked the Karachi side on Twitter.
