Yashasvi Jaiswal stood his ground and refused to walk after being given out for a low score during India A’s second unofficial Test against England Lions at Northampton's County Ground on Friday (June 6).
The southpaw was batting on 17 off 25 balls with two boundaries when an inswinger from Chris Woakes struck him on the pads. The umpire quickly raised his finger, much to the dismay of Jaiswal, who was left stumped by the decision.
The incident unfolded in the seventh over of the innings after England Lions skipper James Rew won the toss and elected to field under overcast conditions.
While attempting to flick a full delivery, the left-handed opener missed putting bat to ball, but felt that the ball was doing too much. The umpire, however, did not echo the same sentiments and declared him out.
Disappointed by the decision, Yashasvi Jaiswal showed his dissent by gesturing something to the umpire. After a good 10 seconds, the 23-year-old eventually made his way back to the pavilion.
Jaiswal, who is expected to open the innings alongside KL Rahul in the upcoming Test series against England, scored 24 and 64 in the first drawn unofficial Test at Canterbury.
India and England are due to square off in a five-match Test series, beginning June 20 at Headingley. The contest will mark the beginning of a new World Test Championship (WTC) cycle.
