The ICC has barred bowlers from handing over their caps, jumpers, sunglasses and other items to umpires.
Former Pakistan cricket captain and swashbuckling all-rounder Shahid Afridi asked the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Monday about its directives to umpires which bars them from holding bowlers’ items.
The new rules have been in place ever since cricket resumed in a world where the coronavirus pandemic has affected most countries around the world.
The Multan Sultans cricketer took to Twitter to wonder why the ICC had put the rule in place when umpires shook hands at the end of every match and were in the same bubble as the management and cricketers.—Agencies
