England's David Willey shed light on a heated exchange between Jason Roy and Iftikhar Ahmed during PSL 9 match between Multan Sultans and Quetta Gladiators on Tuesday.
The altercation occurred following Roy's dismissal lbw to Willey's bowling. Rather than considering a review, Roy promptly approached Iftikhar and exchanged heated words, ultimately running out of time to request a review.
In a post-match presser, Willey revealed details of verbal spat and expressed his appreciation for the intensity displayed by the players.
"What I actually think, I like to see a little bit more passionate things on the cricket field. I think in modern times, more recently, you know that has been stumped out. I actually think it's quite nice to see a bit of passion on the field and I don't think it was anything malicious. It was just two guys passionate about playing cricket and doing well," Willey said.
It is worth noting that Roy displayed visible agitation as he walked back to the dressing room, expressing his frustration by throwing his bat and helmet near the team's dugout.
