Watch: Joe Root’s unique way of shining the ball leaves commentators in splits | Cricket News – Times of India
NEW DELHI: The ongoing Pakistan vs England first Test in Rawalpindi has seen over 1100 runs being scored in the first three days. The flat wicket at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium has drawn criticism from all quarters as it has offered an imbalanced contest between bat and ball.
As the dull Test in Rawalpindi continued on the third day, former England skipper Joe Root provided a dose of laughter with his unique way of shining the ball.
In an attempt to get the shine on the ball to get the reverse swing going, Root was seen rubbing the ball on Jack Leach’s bald head.
The ICC has permanently banned the usage of saliva and sweat is the only way for the players to shine the ball.
The commentators panel, that included former England skipper Nasser Hussain during the incident, burst out in laughter after Root was seen putting the ball on Leach’s bald head to get some moisture on the ball.
