In the Asia Cup 2025, something is going wrong between the Pakistani team and the match officials. The Pakistan Cricket Board raised a rage and even threatened to boycott the match referee Andy Paiyoft to be excluded from the Asia Cup. His cleverness did not work and the Pakistani team was forced to play the match. But in the match, the umpire was injured due to the action of a Pakistani player.

The Pakistani team cut a lot of ruckus over their last match of group stage against UAE. The Pakistani board, which raised controversy over the incident of not joining the match with India, demanded the removal of the match referee Andy Paiyoft tournament. When his demand was not accepted even after many attempts, he requested to get the match delayed against UAE so that a middle way could be found.

Harris hit the umpire’s head

After all, the match started and the Pakistani batting flop once again. But when the fielding of the team came, something happened that stopped everyone’s breath. This happened in the sixth over of Afghanistan’s innings. Dhruv Parashar played the fifth ball of this over of Symme Ayub towards midwicket but could not take runs. Then the fielder threw the ball towards the wicketkeeper. But here, Keeper Mohammad Harris did such an act, which gave tension to everyone.

In fact, Harris killed his bowler on the head of Sri Lankan umpire Ruchira Palliaguruga. Actually Harris did not see that the bowlers had already turned. In such a situation, his attention was not towards the ball. At the same time, umpire Ruchira’s attention was also not on the ball. In such a situation, due to Harris’s mistake of throwing the ball without seeing it, the ball was hit on the head of the umpire.

There is a lot of change of umpire

Immediately the Physio of the Pakistani team came to the ground and started investigating the umpire. Then he took a contingent test of umpire Ruchira but due to pain he could not continue the umpiring further. In such a situation, he was immediately taken out of the field and fourth umpire Ghazi Sohail replaced him in his place. However, Harris accepted his mistake and went to the umpire Ruchira and apologized to him.
