As early as the 15th over, Former Pakistani cricketer Inzamam-ul-Haq was worried about Arshdeep Singh’s ability to Ball Tampering. This happened during India’s win over Australia in their last Super 8 Group 1 match of the T20 World Cup 2024.
During a talk show, Inzamam said that the judges should be more aware of these kinds of things.
Salim Malik, a former friend who was banned from all cricket in 2000 for fixing games, agreed with what was said.
“Eyes are kept shut when it comes to some teams, and India is one of those teams,” Malik said. When Wasim Akram bowled in Zimbabwe, he made it wet, which surprised everyone. We didn’t understand why only one side was wet. When I complained, I got a pretty big fine.
Inzamam also said that there would have been a huge fuss if the Pakistani bowlers had turned the ball or Ball Tampering over this early.
“This would have been a big deal if it had been Pakistani bowlers.” We know a lot about reverse swing Ball Tampering, and if Arshdeep can start doing it in the 15th over, it means that a lot of work went into it before.
“Bumrah can Ball tamper because of the way he bowls, but some bowlers need the ball to be in great shape and ready to go before they can do it.” This could be because the ground was rough and hard, scuffing up one side of the ball. “But these things need to be noticed,” Inzamam said.
