Shubman Gill and BCCI Impact: On the Duke ball, which was in controversy in the India England Test series, now the owner of the company Dilip Jajodia has said that it is taking a U -turn and said that it is soft.
There was a ruckus in India-England Test series over Duke Ball
This was discussed after criticizing Indian captain Shubman Gill and former England fast bowler Stuart Broad. England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) will return more and more balls to the company that makes the Dux ball by the end of this week. According to BBC Sports, Dux -making company ‘British Cricket Balls Limited’ owner Dilip Jajodia said, “We will take in (used) balls, inspect and then talk to the people associated with its construction.” Whatever will be necessary in this matter, we will take steps. In the review, if we feel that some changes need to be made, then we will.
During the current series of five matches, the field umpires had to change the balls regularly as they were getting soft quickly. The ball was getting spoiled only after the use of about 30 overs. This entire process also delayed during the matches. The host board decides the ball used for the Test series. Dux ball is used in England, while Test matches in India are played with SG ball. Kukabura is used in Australia.
The Dux ball has been producing from 1760 but has faced criticism in Tests and County Cricket in recent years. During the Lord’s Test, Shubman Gill was unhappy with the ball that was given to him by the umpires. This second new ball had to be changed to the first hour of the morning on the second day of the match. Jasprit Bumrah took three wickets in less overs than the original ball, but after a change in the ball, the Indian bowlers could not take a single wicket in the rest of the session.
