Hasan Raza, the former batsman for Pakistan, has come under subtle criticism from Wasim Akram, the former fast bowler, for implying that India should be given cricket balls that are specially made to give them an advantage over other teams in the ongoing World Cup in terms of seam and swing. Raza demanded that the ICC investigate the balls that Rohit Sharma’s group was using. In his statement, Akram subtly refuted these allegations, emphasizing the need of factual proof in the cricketing community.
Wasim Akram concluded the heated debate by providing a thorough response when questioned about the issue. The former bowler for Pakistan went into detail about the ball preparation process and the roles that match officials have in supervising these finer points prior to the start of play. He made a playful remark, saying the rumors were unsubstantiated, saying he would want to join in on whatever the gossips are doing.
“For the past two days, I have been reading about this. The fun that these guys seem to be having makes me want to experience the same thing. There is no mind. You are embarrassing not just us but also yourself. See, it’s really not that hard. With a box containing twelve balls, the umpire approaches the team bowling first while flanked by other match officials.
He went on, “The bowler(s) selects two balls based on personal preference.” The other team’s locker room is where he then brings the final eight balls. They employ the same procedure. In front of other match officials, he then turns the balls over to the fourth umpire,” Wasim Akram stated on A Sports
Indian bowlers may have picked up an additional skill: Wasim Akram
In just seven matches of the current ICC World Cup, the Indian fast bowlers have taken an astounding 45 wickets. With two five-wicket hauls from Mohammed Shami alone, they have achieved this at an excellent average of 18.57. The pacers have taken 15 wickets in powerplays so far. Wasim Akram praised Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj, and Jasprit Bumrah, the Indian pace three, implying that they “might be better” than their counterparts.
“Who has such an attitude? (Who thinks like this?)” How can a gadget cause a ball to swing? Simple theory states that one side is heavy (shiny) and one side is light (rough). I am aware that there has been some contention on the lack of impact from players from other nations, including our own. The Indian bowlers, though, may have picked up some additional knowledge, in my opinion. The 57-year-old continued, “Maybe they are better and more efficient now.
