The incident happened when Islamabad United's Colin Munro was batting
Islamabad United’s Colin Munro called out Multan Sultans spinner Iftikhar Ahmed for chucking during a Pakistan Super League (PSL) match between the two sides in Multan on Wednesday.
The incident happened in the 10th over of Islamabad United’s chase when Colin Munro was on strike. Iftikhar Ahmed seemed to throw the ball to Munro instead of just bowling it, and Munro quickly noticed this and complained. The two of them got into a heated argument before Iftikhar and the rest of the Multan Sultan players approached the umpires. The umpires, however, did not do much and instructed the players to carry on with the game.
Chucking is a form of illegal bowling where a bowler throws the ball to the batter instead of bowling it.
“An Illegal Bowling Action is where a player is throwing rather than bowling the ball. This is defined by the ICC as being where the player’s elbow extends by an amount of more than 15 degrees between their arm reaching the horizontal and the ball being released,” the International Cricket Council (ICC) states in their rules and regulations section on their website.
