Umpire Aleem Dar was on the receiving end of a throw from Pakistan’s Mohammad Wasim Jr’s which hit him on the right ankle during the second ODI between Pakistan and New Zealand in Karachi on Wednesday.
The incident occurred during the 36th over of the innings when Glenn Phillips flicked a Haris Rauf delivery to deep square leg and Wasim threw the ball towards the stumps, hoping to catch the batters unaware.
But the ball hit Dar, who was at that time looking at the batters who were trying to make ground.
