Shahid Afridi questions ICC for barring umpires from holding bowlers’ caps

The player who is well known as “Boom, Boom” says why the ICC has put on the umpires from holding bowlers’ caps when they share the same bubble with the players and management and also shake hands at the end of every game.

KARACHI: (UrduPoint/Pakistan Point News-Feb 24th, 2021) Multan Sultans’ senior player and all-rounder Shahid Khan Afridi has questioned International cricket Council (ICC) over certain restriction on umpires during ongoing Pakistan Super League 6 edition in the country.

Taking to Twitter, the player who is known as “boom, boom” said that why there was ban on umpires to hold bowlers’ caps despite that they were part of the same bubble the other players and team manages had.

He wrote: “Dear @ICC wondering why the umpires are not allowed to hold bowlers cap even though they are in the same bubble as the players/management and even shake hands at the end of the game?,”.

The bowlers face problems as they come to bowl but they have caps on their heads and they need to hand over these caps to someone. Earlier, they used to hand over these caps to the umpires but ICC barred umpires from holding the caps.
