Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar has criticized the bowlers for taking refreshments on the boundary line. The authorities have turned a blind eye to this modern habit of bowlers who finish the over, freshen up with drinks on the boundary and then field.
He says that only the bowlers are getting the benefit of the ICC law, the bowlers get fresh but the batsmen don’t get this benefit, the bowlers have the facility after bowling 6 balls, the batsmen have the facility for scoring runs in an over. No. The former Indian captain says that no matter the format, stamina is required in cricket. It should be like the past that there should be a drink break after every hour, only with the permission of the captain of the opposing team or the umpire. Sunil Gavaskar also said that according to the ICC rules, apart from the scheduled time, if time is not lost and no player is disturbed, then there is no prohibition to take a drink.
