Pakistan questioned India vs England match’s ‘floodlight failure’ after Ravindra’s injury:

Delhi: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) faced strong criticism when New Zealand’s Rachin Rabindra was injured in the first ODI of the Tri-Series between New Zealand and Pakistan. The incident occurred when Rachin ran to take a catch, but he could not see the ball and that ball hit his head directly, causing him to flow badly from his head.

Some fans blamed the floodlights of Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. After this accident, some people also started demanding that 2025 Champions Trophy be removed from Pakistan, as they lack basic facilities.

The official statement from New Zealand cricket said that Rachin had a deep injury on his forehead, which has stitched, and his situation will be monitored. However, former Pakistan captain Salman Butt blamed Rachin for the incident.

Salman said on a local news channel, “There is no point in convincing people when he does not want to understand. These are the new LED lights, they are working completely. When the New Zealand players were hitting sixes off the balls at a speed of 150 km/h, were the lights not working? The player who stood 70 meters away could not take a catch due to his misdeeds. He is an excellent fielder, but perhaps his leg slipped, and he hurt. “

Question on India vs England match

The Pakistani news anchor supported Salman Butt’s words, saying that exactly a day later, the game stopped for about 30 minutes due to failure of floodlights during the second ODI played between India and England at Barabati Stadium in Kattak. Like PCB, BCCI also had to face criticism from the public, and the issue caught so much that the Odisha Cricket Association received an NOC from the Odisha State Council.

However, the anchor said that “such incidents happen” and due to this it is unnecessary to talk about depriving Pakistan of Champions Trophy. He also questioned that if this happened in India’s match, was he criticized so much?

There are many sides in this case, but the main issue is that injury in any game is a common phenomenon, but needs to understand the aspects of technical and basic features associated with it properly.
