England captain's ‘disgraceful behaviour’ and ‘zero class’ act with the umpires called out; accepts mistakes later
Hindustan TimesEngland captain Heather Knight accepted that the umpires made the right call by taking the players off during the last over of the second T20I between England Women and Australia Women in Canberra but not before making the world know of her disappointment. She was slammed on social media for her "disgraceful" and "classless" act of not shaking hands with the umpires after they informed her and Australia captain Tahlia McGrath that the match was called off with five balls remaining in the England chase due to heavy rain. Heather Knight refused to shake hands with the umpires When the umbrella-holding umpires informed Knight and McGrath that the match was over and Australia were the winners on DLS method, Knight was seen shaking hands with her counterpart but refused to do the same when one of the umpires extended her hand. A 65-run stand between Nat Sciver-Brunt and Heather Knight put them on track, but Schutt and Kim Garth restricted England to 168/4, falling short by 6 runs.
