According to the report, Yorkshire County Cricket Club is treating this as a case of security violation and Jarvis won't be allowed in the Leeds gallery for the rest of his life.

"Yes, Daniel Jarvis will be banned from Headingley for life. We will also be imposing a financial penalty," a Yorkshire CCC spokesperson confirmed to PTI.

Asked what sort of precautions will be taken to avoid such embarrassment which has now happened twice in the ongoing Test series, the spokesperson said: "As on previous days, there will be stewards present around there to stop anyone that attempts to get on."

On Friday (August 27), the incident happened after India opener Rohit Sharma was dismissed and Jarvis was seen walking in to bat.

Funnily, he was acting like an Indian cricketer as he donned a Team India Test jersey with No. 69 and came out padded up. Soon as he reached the pitch, security personnel took him out of the ground. In the second Test, Jarvo 69 had walked in as a fielder of the Indian team and his video went viral.

At Lord’s, Jarvis’ antics had left the commentators and fans in splits. In fact, Indian cricketers had also laughed out loud during the incident.

Meanwhile, former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has asked what kind of reactions would there be if a similar security lapse had happened in India.

"Imagine the outrage if the same guy invade the field twice in India," Pathan tweeted.
