THIRD UMPIRE’S INCOMPETANCY ON HIS ROLE DEBATED ON DISMISSAL OF PATHUM NISSANKA

Pathum Nissanka’s dismissal in the Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan match during Asia Cup 2022 match became a huge talking point on Saturday. Sri Lanka were already down two wickets when Nissanka was given caught behind by the the on-field umpire.

The Sri Lankan batsman appeared in disbelief, and he opted for a review, but much to the surprise of fans, despite barely any movement caught on the ultra-edge, the third-umpire asked the on-field umpire to stay with his decision.

During the post match press conference, Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka said that it’s a concern that correct decisions were not made despite the heavy usage of technology. Afghanistan captain Mohamed Nabi said that he also thought it was not out. (NewsWire)
