A video of Seales simply letting the ball touch the rope is going viral on social media platforms. It is believed that, to keep Babar Azam off the strike in the first ball of the following over, the fielder did the act. However, now the matter is in the hands of the Cricket Council.
At the closing moments of the match, when Babar, a well-set batter on the track, was in front of a Test half-century, West Indies targeted Mohammad Abbas, the eleventh batter of the Pakistan playing eleven.
