Ind vs Eng 5th Test Match : A five -Test series is being played between India and England and in the meantime the issue of Duke Ball has been hot. Meanwhile, in the third match of the series, there was a lot of controversy over the ball. The ball was replaced several times in the third Test match played at Lord’s and during this time Indian team captain Shubman Gill (Shubman Gill) He was also seen arguing with the umpires. The ball was replaced twice in the third day game. However, when the ball was replaced for the second time, other Indian players including captain Gill were not happy with the decision and now it is being told that the Indian team expressed their displeasure over the protocol of changing the ball in the series and took the matter to the ICC.
30 over old ball instead of 10
According to a media report, Indian players complain that the new ball that was replaced on the third day of the third Test match was not 10 overs. Rules say that the ball should be as old as the ball has been replaced after the over. But instead of 10 overs, India gave the new ball 30-35 over old ball. Team India suffered heavy losses and finally lost the match by 22 runs.
What was said in the protocol?
The protocol states that the replacement ball should be as old as the original ball, but when it came to the replace, it was found that there is not the same old ball in the stock, which is 10 overs -old ball. A BCCI official said that after 10 overs in Lord’s, the Dux ball loses its own and has been often seen in this series. The ball could not pass through the rings, after seeing that the umpire tells whether this ball is circular or not. It is being told that the umpire did not have a 10-over ball and that is why when the match reached its final stop, Team India got 30-35 over old balls instead of 10.
ICC should change rules
At the same time, the officer further said that when a captain asks to change the ball, he is not told how old the replacement ball is going to be. Also, in Lord’s, we did not tell that the ball being given is 30 to 35 over old balls. If we were told this, then we would have accepted only 10 to 15 over old balls. Also, the ICC should intervene in this matter and in view of the seriousness of the case, this rule should be changed.
