Watch: Wahab Riaz and Jason Roy fight after latter accuses quick of ball-tampering

A couple of days after Imad Wasim accused three players of ball-tampering, another incident came up in the game. England and Quetta Gladiators opener Jason Roy and Peshawar Zalmi fast bowler Wahab Riaz were seen having a go at each other.

The Gladiators’ skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed confirmed that a spat had taken place between the two players during the 17th over of Gladiators’ innings. Even after the innings ended, the two players were seen exchanging words and had to be pulled back by teammates.

“Jason Roy asked Wahab whether he had made the ball properly to gain reverse swing. The Pakistani pacer reacted angrily and argued before Sarfaraz intervened to diffuse the situation,” said a source.

“They basically said in the report that the cricket board and match officials should keep a close watch on the condition of the ball,” the source added.
