Pakistan batter Salman Ali Agha’s run-out during the second ODI against Bangladesh at the e Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium in Dhaka on Friday has led to debates. The incident happened in the 39th over of Pakistan’s innings when the visitors were ahead in the game. While Bangladesh skipper Mehidy Hasan Miraz acted within the rules and regulations, his attempt has been condemned by fans and former players. Mohammad Kaif slammed him for dislodging the bails.

Mohammad Rizwan played a shot, which went towards the non-striker’s end. Agha, who was standing outside the crease, thought the ball was dead and gave it back to Miraz. Bangladesh spinner collected the ball and broke the stumps, with Agha outside the crease.

The decision was referred to the third umpire, who ruled in Bangladesh’s favour. Agha was frustrated and exchanged a few words with the rival player.

“This is so not done. No desperation to get wickets can justify this runout. That too from a captain. Youngsters, please remember, even if the World Cup final is on the line, never do what the Bangladesh skipper did. Sports without fair play are no sports.”
