Islamabad: Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt criticized the quality of umpiring in the ODI World Cup in India. Salman Butt responded that the decisions of the umpires in the World Cup were pathetic and below average.
Umpire gave out once morest Mohammad Rizwan during India-Pakistan match. Fortunately Rizwan took the review and overcame the decision. Babar might have given out once morest Assam. But he survived it. The decisions of the umpires in the tournament are not world-class.” – Salman Butt responded.
Salman Butt also alleged that Pakistan team director Mickey Arthur’s statements following losing to India were misplaced. Mickey Arthur responded that the Pakistan team did not get support at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad and that the World Cup did not feel like an ICC event. Arthur responded this way in the press conference held following the match.
“This is completely unprofessional. Mickey Arthur’s job is to encourage the players. Such statements will not produce good results in the team.” – Salman Butt alleged. The decisions of the umpires in the World Cup have been controversial many times. The dismissals of Steve Smith and Marcus Stoinis during the Australia and South Africa match is considered to be a mistake by the umpire.
