Former Pakistan player Umar Gul has alleged that Pakistan all-rounder Shadab Khan was faking his injury in the crucial match against South Africa in the ODI World Cup. Shadab left the field after being hit on the head while fielding against South Africa.
I don’t think Shadab was seriously injured when he took the ball on his head while fielding. When South Africa were about to lose, Shadab could be seen standing in front of the camera in the dugout and applauding. You must understand that you are playing with the sentiments of 24 crore people of Pakistan. That’s why I didn’t find Shadab’s enthusiasm very exciting.
I don’t believe Shadab’s injury while fielding warranted a concussion substitute. Shadab got off the ground and returned to the dugout after some time. There were no problems with Shadab’s scanning. I think Shadab is looking for a way to escape from competitive pressure – said Umar Gul.
With Shadab Khan ruled out due to injury, Usama Mir came on as a concussion substitute for Pakistan. Usama Mir took two wickets and was brilliant in bowling. But Pakistan could not win the match. South Africa won by one wicket.
