The Hindu  

International cricket chiefs say they do not want to gag commentators after West Indies great Michael Holding hit out at “censorship” following on-air comments that were critical of the standard of umpiring at the World Cup. World Cup 2019: Full coverage Chris Gayle was out to what should technically have been a free hit after Mitchell Starc overstepped the crease on the previous ball, which was not spotted by the umpire. “Inherently in live television, there are occasions when on-field decisions cause reason for discussion or debate, but as ICC TV host broadcasters, our duty is not to judge or highlight mistakes,” he said. Players' profile of 150 players in World Cup 2019 “If those umpires yesterday were FIFA officials, they would have been told to pack their bags and head home,” he added.
