[Saba Sports News] India and Australia clashed in the ODI World Cup on October 8 at Chennai’s Chepauk stadium. During India’s fielding in the first innings, Daniel Jarvo, known for breaching security at cricket grounds, made an appearance.
Jarvo exchanged words with Mohammed Siraj and was animatedly confronted by KL Rahul before security swiftly removed him from the field. Virat Kohli also engaged with him. Consequently, the International Cricket Council (ICC) banned Jarvo from the remaining ODI World Cup 2023 matches.
“The safety and security of everyone involved in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 is our priority. We will work with the venue to understand what happened and consider if any additional security measures are required to prevent it from happening again. The individual concerned has been banned from attending any further games at the event, and the matter is in the hands of Indian authorities,” stated the ICC.
Jarvo, although claiming to be an Indian team fan, has a history of unauthorized field entries. This marked his fourth such incident during India’s matches. India won the game by six wickets after dismissing Australia for 199.
KL Rahul received the Player of the Match award for his unbeaten 97 off 115 balls, while Virat Kohli’s classy 85 helped India recover from a rocky start. Rohit Sharma’s team will play their next match in the tournament on October 11 in Delhi against Afghanistan.”
