Colombo: A particular visitor made an unpredictable entry on the bottom on the second day of the continuing check match between Afghanistan and Sri Lanka. The ‘out of the blue’ entry pressured officers to cease play for some time. The incident occurred on the Sinhalese Sports Club whereas Sri Lanka had been batting.
Excited to know who the visitor is?
In the forty eighth over of the Sri Lankan innings, when Dinesh Chandimal was making ready to face Afghan bowler Nijat Masood, the umpire signalled to cease the sport. For a second everybody was bewildered, however then they might see the clear visuals of a Monitor Lizard making its entry into the bottom on the large screens placed within the stadium. The play was paused till the surprising visitor moved out of the bottom.
That was in all probability one of many rarest sights on a cricket discipline!
If you bear in mind, in August 2023, a snake was noticed on the bottom on the Colombo cricket stadium throughout a match between Galle Titans and Dambulla Aura.
The frequent cameos of cute little animals on the cricket discipline might properly not be nice information for the gamers!
