When the Indian women’s cricket team was practicing at the R Premdasa Stadium in Colombo on Friday evening, an unwanted guest reached the ground. Actually, a snake crawling from the drains of the stadium suddenly appeared on the ground. This view held the breath of the players, associate staff and media teams present there. However, shortly after, it became clear that it is not a poisonous snake but a local species called ‘Garandia’, which often roams in plains and drains in search of mice.
The players remained shocked
The incident happened when the Indian player was going towards the nets. Seeing the snake, everyone made a short distance, but the rest of the players including the team captain Harmanpreet Kaur saw it eagerly instead of panic. An employee of the stadium said that this snake does not harm humans and such incidents are common here. Even before this, the Sri Lanka Premier League and snakes have entered the field during international matches.
Unwanted incident before clash with Pakistan
The Indian team will play their second group match against Pakistan on Sunday. Earlier, the team had defeated hosts Sri Lanka, making a brilliant start of their campaign. In such a situation, this incident has definitely become a topic of discussion before the match against Pakistan. The special thing is that Pakistan’s team has lost badly to Bangladesh in their first match. It was expected that Pakistan would easily win, but Bangladesh made a big upset by seven wickets.
Disputed statement in commentary increased heat
Meanwhile, a new controversy also came to light during the match played between Pakistan and Bangladesh. Former Pakistan captain and commentator Sana Mir used the word “Azad Kashmir” on-air. According to the ICC rules, the use of political statements or disputed words during the game is strictly banned. On this, there was a lot of ruckus on social media and many cricket fans criticized Mir’s statement.
Now everyone’s eyes on Indo-Pak match
There is always a high-voltage between India and Pakistan. This time too, there is a lot of enthusiasm in the audience about the match in Colombo. After the crushing defeat from Bangladesh, Pakistan will be under pressure, while India will go with the intention of pushing its winning campaign. Now it will be seen how the battle between the players on the field takes an exciting turn.
