New Delhi: IPLMany cricketers from that Pakistan supporter repeatedly Pakistan Super League(Pakistan Super League 2026) draws comparison, but this league stands many years away from professionalism, it is once again proof. The incident took place during Quetta Gladiators vs Lahore Qalandars match. There, both a cricketer and the cricketer who joined the team as his replacement entered the field at the same time.

Dinesh Chandimol was earlier announced as the replacement of New Zealand cricketer Bevon Jacobs by Quetta. Jacobs had to withdraw midway through the tournament as he was to join the team for New Zealand’s upcoming T20I series against Bangladesh. But everyone was surprised when Quetta’s XI was announced during the toss against Lahore. It features Chandimal and Jacobs, both in the Quetta XI. It goes without saying that this is completely illegal.

But when Quetta made this mistake during the toss, the surprising thing is that from the umpire to the opposing team’s cricketers, support staff, no one complained about this whole thing. Perhaps no one was even aware of this change. As a result, both Jacob and Chandimal played the match simultaneously. The Sri Lankan cricketer could not score more than three runs from five balls, and Jacobs did not get much chance to bat. However, Quetta’s match-winning shot came from Kiwi’s bat.

A statement was later issued about the whole affair claiming that Chandimal played in the playing XI instead of Tom Curran in this match as Curran was physically ill and could not participate in the match and did not travel with the team. Karan will play in place of Jacobs from the next match. Cricket experts and those who understand cricket at all know very well that this is nothing but a futile attempt to hit a mistake, because according to the rules of cricket this does not happen, at least it has never happened before. As a result, naturally, the question arises about the professionalism of Waghapar’s country’s franchise league.

However, the debate that this is the first time in this year’s PSL is not so. Nasim Shah faced a heavy fine for expressing his opinion against a political leader. Fakhar Zaman was sent off for attempting to tamper with the ball. This Chandimal and Jacobs incident took a new entry in the long list of new controversies in PSL.
