A new controversy has arisen after Pakistani batsman Mohammad Rizwan was dismissed on a no-ball in a controversial manner in the first Test match against Australia.
After a good start, the Pakistan team lost 5 wickets for 94 runs in the first Test match of the series being played in Brisbane.
On this occasion, Mohammad Rizwan came to support Asad Shafiq and both players batted responsibly and supported the Pakistani batting line.
Rizwan played an innings of 37 runs off 34 balls with the help of 7 fours, and it seemed that these two batsmen will give the national team access to a reasonable total, but on this occasion, Rizwan was the victim of a controversial decision by the umpire. went
Mohammad Rizwan was caught at the back of the wickets while trying to play a ball that went outside the wickets of Australian fast bowler Pat Cummins.
At this point the umpires referred to the third umpire to check the no ball and his decision proved correct as Cummins’ foot was out of bounds and no part of the foot was behind the line.

Cummins himself was not entirely confident about the no ball and said that it was difficult to tell whether it was a no ball from 100 meters away on the screen, until the umpire raised his finger to declare it out. By this time I was very nervous.
National team bowling coach Waqar Younis refrained from criticizing the umpire and said it was a difficult decision. .
However, most of the former Australian cricketers in the commentary box seemed surprised at the decision and called it wrong.
Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting said, “I watched several replays, but I didn’t see any part of the toe behind the line, but McGrath, who was sitting next to me, felt that a millimeter of part of the toe was behind the line, but I didn’t see it.” Don’t show anything.
Former Australian fast bowler Jason Gillespie I think it was a wrong decision, it was a no ball and the ball should have been called a no ball.
