The captain of England, Ben Stokes, spoke for the first time about the incident in hand that caused the debate during the fourth test of the five -game series at Old Trafford in Manchester. However, Stokes stated that he had no intention of making his bowls continue in a game that went to a draw.
The controversy took place on the last day of the fourth test. Ravindra Jadja and Washington Sundar rejected Stokes’s offer to end the game and accept a draw. Jadja (89) and Sundar (80) decided to continue to beat. Stokes was frustrated by his decision, which he added to the drama in the situation.
Ben Stokes, along with his teammates, Harry Brook, Zak Crawley and others, faced criticism for alleged game games. Critics stated that Indian players were fine within their rights to continue to beat. Crawley and Ben Duckett were also questioning India’s decision to play.
Your daily dose of cricket!
Above all, Stokes delivered the ball to part -time spinners, Harry Brook and Joe Root after India’s refusal. Jadja and Washington came to their centuries before shaking hands with the England team.
“Do you want to mark a hundred against Harry Brook?” Stokes asked sarcastically, and all Jadja said it was, “I can’t do anything.”
Ben Stokes, who will lose the final test due to injury, defended his decision to offer a first hand. He mentioned that he had no intention of using his front -line bowls. Stokes urged everyone to move from the brief incident, adding that the focus should remain in the series.
“He does not regret. When you are not in the field for 250 points, you understand a bit of the two parties. Jadja and Washington played incredibly until now, and I understand why they wanted to stay out of their hundreds,” Stokes told journalists on the eve of the oval test.
“As I said at the end of the game: fair enough. I was not going to dump my bowls in a situation where we couldn’t win and risk injuries. India and we both pass. We don’t focus too much on a 20 -minute period in what was a great series,” he added.
The final test between India and England will begin on Thursday, July 31 in the Oval, with England leading the five-game series 2-1. While the hosts aim to achieve the series, India will seek to level it.
In the face of the decision, there was a controversy involved in India’s main coach, Gautam Gambhir, and Pitch Oval Commissioner Lee Fortis. During an inspection of the pitch, Fortis asked Gambhir to appear from the surface, giving rise to an exchange stressed between the two.
The clash was caught on the camera and quickly went viral on social media. Ben Stokes, when asked about the incident, stated that he was not present at the time and could not comment on what had taken place.
“I don’t know, it wasn’t here.” Stokes in the playing controversy.
