Pakistan lodges official complaint against New Zealand batsman over disgraceful gesture

ISLAMABAD – Pakistan has officially lodged a complaint against seasoned NewZealand batsman Ross Taylor for his ‘disgraceful’ gestures.

Taylor, while facing Mohammad Hafeez during his batting in the first ODI ofthe three-match series, made a bent-arm gesture towards the umpiresuggesting that the off-spinner was bowling with an illegal action.

This did not go very well with the skipper Sarfraz Ahmed who immediatelyapproached him and exchanged a couple of words with Taylor before theumpires intervened.

He then continued with Hafeez from one end, and umpires asked Taylor toleave the inspection to them and keep batting.
