DUBAI: English batsman Joe Root has accused Pakistan fast bowler Wahab Riaz of ball-tampering during the ongoing Test match between the two countries in the UAE but no evidence of wrongdoing was presented.
Riaz was apparently accused of tampering the ball during England’s second innings on the fourth day of the second Test match.
But the match referee or other match officials have not asked Pakistani pacer for an explanation, nor has any other Pakistani player or official been contacted in this regard, sources said.
Riaz was the pick of the bowlers in the first English innings, picking up four crucial wickets to set the match up for Pakistan.
