Australian MP Jason Wood has raised concerns over the controversial ball exchange on the third day of the first Test between England and Sri Lanka at Old Trafford recently.
A controversial ball change in Sri Lanka’s second innings drew criticism from commentators and players. The incident occurred after the 41st over when the umpires, Chris Gaffaney and Paul Reiffel, agreed to England’s request to replace a worn-out Dukes ball.
Commenting on the incident, Australian MP Jason Wood said ‘England cricket was at it again with a dodgy ball exchange.’
“Bad luck Sri Lankan cricket team in the second innings with a lead of 169, with Mendis 101 not out and had seen off fast bowlers when England changed the softball for a hard ball,” he said.
