Overview
- Video from the second T20I in Lahore showed Cameron Green making a throwing-style gesture after Tariq dismissed him, triggering widespread discussion of the spinner’s action.
- Usman Tariq posted “Apology accepted” on social media, suggesting Green privately apologised following the incident.
- Former ICC umpire Anil Chaudhary reviewed footage and stated his view that Tariq’s delivery is legal under ICC guidelines.
- Tariq was reported in PSL 2024 and 2025 but cleared both times after biomechanical testing in Lahore, and no formal complaint was lodged by Australia or match officials in Lahore.
- Usman Khawaja publicly urged restraint given the stigma of ‘chucking’ accusations, as Tariq’s 2-16 helped Pakistan to a 90-run win before both teams departed for the T20 World Cup in Sri Lanka.
