The US bowler, Rusty Theron, has accused Haris Rauf of Pakistan of ball tempering on Thursday’s T20 World Cup match held in Dallas.
Theron who is not on the USA team alleged that Rauf was scratching his thumbnails against the ball which was making it reverse after just two overs.
He also lambasted ICC for reportedly ignoring the act.
“@ICC are we just going to pretend Pakistan aren’t scratching the hell out of this freshly changed ball? Reversing the ball that’s just been changed 2 overs ago?
“You can literally see Haris Rauf running his thumb nail over the ball at the top of his mark. @usacricket #PakvsUSA,” X wrote by Theron.
In what is regarded as a big surprise in this T20 World Cup, co-hosts USA beat former champions Pakistan in Super Over on Thursday.
Rauf was Pakistan’s most expensive bowler having conceded 37 runs in four overs.
