India Captain Gill Accuses England of Violating 'Spirit of the Game' Ahead of 4th Cricket Test
LONDON, JUL 22 – Shubman Gill criticised England's openers for deliberately delaying play by 90 seconds, calling it against cricket's spirit amid rising tensions in the third Test, which England won by 22 runs.
- Shubman Gill, leading the Indian team, expressed strong criticism of England for what he saw as tactics that breached the "spirit of the game," after their opening batsmen took 90 seconds longer than expected to take the crease during the third Test at Lord's.
- This allegation followed rising tensions from England's time-wasting tactics during the final seven minutes of the third day's play, which sparked frustration among Indian players including Gill himself.
- England captain Ben Stokes stated before the upcoming Test against India at Old Trafford that his team does not aim to provoke their opponents deliberately, but they also will stand firm and respond if faced with confrontation.
- Stokes emphasized that while England are not looking to provoke conflict, they also will not shy away from standing their ground if opponents challenge them, reflecting a more resilient mindset fostered by coach Brendon McCullum and mental skills coach Gilbert Enoka.
- The ongoing friction underscores a shift in the series dynamic, with England leading 2-1 in the five-Test series and both sides emphasizing mental toughness and a harder competitive edge moving into the fourth Test starting Wednesday.
