During the second One Day International against Pakistan, England fast bowler Liam Plunkett was alleged that he might have tampered with the ball but International Cricket Council has been cleared the allegations. A three-second clip on social media raised the question of ball-tampering when it was seen that Plunkett was scratching the surface of the ball. Even everyone started debating on Twitter as well. However, he himself understood that and became aware of the situation.

However, ICC shared a Tweet on Sunday where they stated that Plunkett was not involved in the issue.

“The ICC has confirmed that the match officials are comfortable there was no attempt by Liam Plunkett to change the condition of the ball or any evidence of this on the over-by-over examinations of the ball throughout Saturday’s ODI clash in Southampton,” said a statement issued by the ICC
