Shahid Afridi questions Covid-19 regulations for umpires

Pakistan’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.

“Dear 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?” 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.
