During his team’s ICC World Cup Qualifiers match against United Arab Emirates on Friday, Scotland’s left-arm orthodox bowler Mark Watt was seen engaging in an odd activity.
In keeping with the plan, Watt pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket before beginning his second over of the UAE innings.
He only began bowling his over after putting that piece of paper back in his pocket. The incident’s video is currently trending on social media.
In the eight overs he bowled against UAE, Watt recorded a strike rate of 1 for 22.
Cricket player Mark Robert James Watt was born in Scotland on July 29, 1996. On June 18, 2015, he faced Ireland in his first Twenty20 international match.
On July 31, 2015, against Nepal, he made his List A debut during the 2015–17 ICC World Cricket League Championship.
