Cricket : Stuart Broad fined by father Chris for using inappropriate language

(FASTNEWS | COLOMBO) – Stuart Broad has been given a stern reminder from his father about bad language and left on the verge of a ban after being fined around £2,000 for giving Pakistan’s Yasir Shah a send-off during the first Test.

The former England opener Chris Broad is acting as the match referee for all six Tests this summer after the International Cricket Council opted to use home officials in response to the travel restrictions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

And it became clear on Tuesday that family loyalties are not at play with his son Stuart on the naughty step following an exchange of words after dismissing Yasir on the final morning of England’s remarkable three-wicket victory. (The Guardian).
