ENG vs IND: There Should Be Zero Tolerance For Body Contact In Cricket

By IANS News August 07, 2021 • 21:52 PM View: 1781

Cricket is not a contact sport. There has to be zero tolerance for deliberate pushing, shoving and elbowing. It must be stamped out at the slightest sign of it raising its ugly head. Twice during the third day's play of the ongoing first Test between India and England on Friday, English bowlers crossed the line.

While the umpires asked for calm after a verbal duel between James Anderson and K.L. Rahul, they did not appear to caution the former and Ollie Robinson when they rudely rubbed shoulders against the Indian batsmen.
