BGT 2024-25: 'Every Series Needs A Villain And Siraj Is Now That Villain', Opines Clarke
Big Sports Breakfast: Former Australian captain Michael Clarke said India fast bowler Mohammed Siraj should be fined for his habit of celebrating wickets without appealing to the umpires for lbw dismissals, and expressed surprise over the ICC not sanctioning him for this.
Siraj has been in headlines for his send-off clash with Travis Head after dismissing him for 140 in Adelaide. Clarke’s comments point towards the instance of Siraj 'celebrappeal' for an lbw against Marnus Labuschagne without looking at the umpire, only for replays to show a big inside edge.
"Siraj should be fined for keeping on appealing for LBWs and not asking the umpire. He hits the batter on the pads and just runs down like they’re out. I’m surprised the ICC haven't fined him because I remember when I was playing, you get fined every time.
