A new controversy has emerged in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) involving New Zealand batter Daryl Mitchell and Quetta Gladiators' spinner Usman Tariq. During a match held in Rawalpindi, Mitchell refused to face Tariq's deliveries due to the bowler's unique pause before delivering the ball. This incident occurred multiple times, prompting Mitchell to signal to the umpire that he was not ready to face the delivery. The situation escalated, drawing criticism from former Pakistan cricketer Ramiz Raja during commentary. Despite the controversy, Tariq managed to concede only three singles off the first three balls of the over. However, on the fourth ball, Mitchell again walked away, leading to further discussions between him and the umpire. Ultimately, Mitchell was dismissed by Saud Shakeel, and his team lost the match by 61 runs. The incident has reignited discussions about Tariq's bowling action, with experts calling for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to review it. Former Indian spinner R Ashwin suggested that batters could walk away to force the umpire to call the delivery a dead ball, potentially disrupting the bowler's rhythm.
