Fraud from Pakistan? (PC-PTI)
West Indies defeated Pakistan by 90 runs at the Brian Lara Cricket Stadium. During this victory, West Indies fast bowler Jaden Seales committed such a foul whose video has gone viral on social media. When Pakistan had lost 9 wickets, Babar Azam played a shot towards the boundary, which was allowed to go for a four by Jaden Seales. Seals could have stopped the ball if he wanted. But he did not do so and allowed the four to happen. Let us tell you that if Seales had stopped that ball, Babar Azam would have come on strike and there would have been more delay for West Indies to achieve victory. Therefore, in order to bring Mohammad Abbas on strike, Seales deliberately allowed the ball to go for four.
Will action be taken against Jaden Seals?
There is no ICC rule regarding intentionally dropping the ball. But if the umpire complains, the match referee can take action against Seals. There are ICC rules regarding fake fielding but there is no written punishment for intentionally leaving the ball. However, to what extent would it be appropriate to take action against Jaden Seals because sometimes batsmen do not deliberately take two or three runs. They do this to stay on strike, so if the fielder does this then perhaps no one should have any problem.
Last ball of the over.
Babar Azam looked for a single to keep strike. Jayden Seales deliberately let the ball go for four so the tailender would face the next over.
Smart cricket or should he be fined?
