Pakistanโ€™s legendary former cricketer Shahid Afridi, in a Tweet on Thursday, questioned International Cricket Council (ICC) regarding the Covid-19 regulations for the umpires during the ongoing fixtures around the world.

The umpires are not allowed to hold the caps of the bowlers, which was a typical occurrence during the pre-covid times, while they also avoid shaking hands with players.

โ€œDear ICC, wondering why the umpires are not allowed to hold bowlers cap even though they are in the same bubble as players/management and even shake hands at the end of the game?โ€ Afridi tweeted.

The legendary former all-rounder has a massive following on the social media platform Twitter with over 1.4 million followers. The 40-year-old strives to bring many issues to the forefront using his popularity to create awareness.
