  • England's Summer Ends and Asia Cup Controversy

    England's Summer Ends and Asia Cup Controversy
    Sep 22 2025
    Join us for a recap of the England vs. Ireland T20I series, where England showcased a dominant performance, winning 2-0 overall. We'll highlight Phil Salt's explosive batting displays, including his incredible 89 off 46 balls against Ireland, which followed a record-breaking 141 not out against South Africa just days before the series. Did Salt cement his place as a T20 superstar with these sensational performances? Later, we'll delve into the contentious 2025 Asia Cup, focusing on the controversial caught-behind dismissal of Fakhar Zaman in the India vs. Pakistan match. We'll unpack why Pakistan filed an official complaint to the ICC regarding the TV umpire's decision and the earlier refusal by Indian players to shake hands with the Pakistan team at the toss and after the game. This incident led to Pakistan's complaint against match referee Andy Pycroft to the ICC.
