Afghanistan, which reached the semi-finals, was accused of deliberately wasting time. Gulbdin Naib was lying down to pull the leg against Bangladesh. But it was alleged that it was an act. Former cricketers claimed that this was done to waste time. Can he be punished for this?
The Bangladesh vs. Afghanistan match rained again and again. The match must be stopped. At one point, Afghanistan was leading by two runs in DLS regulation. Although it was raining at that time, it was not much. The game was still going on. From the outside, Afghan coach Jonathan Trott pointed out the cricketers as wasting time. Show that the rain is coming with your finger.
At that time, Gulbadin, who was standing on the slip, lay down on the ground, holding his feet. He wants to understand that his legs are tight. This resulted in time wastage, and by then the rain had arrived, and the umpires had ordered the field to be abandoned. At that time, Gulbadin left the field, holding the shoulders of his teammates. However, play resumed later, and Afghanistan won the match over all-out Bangladesh. Gulbadin is seen jumping at that time.
When the rain stopped, Gulbadin entered the field with the team. Then he looked completely healthy. He also said: But the commentators didn’t think he was injured after seeing his face when he fell because of a leg strain. Simon Dull was commentating. He said, “Everyone understood what the coach was saying. But such a deliberate delay is not right. Very bad plan.”
Many people pretend to be injured to steal time in football. If the referee understands it, show the card. Ravichandran Ashwin remembered Gulbadin’s injury. He wrote on social media, “Gulbadin Naib should be shown a red card.” Former England captain Michael Vaughan raised questions about the spirit of cricket.
