flag Australian all-rounder Cameron Green drew backlash for questioning Pakistan's spinner Usman Tariq's action after a 90-run loss in Lahore.

After Australia's 90-run loss to Pakistan in Lahore, all-rounder Cameron Green sparked controversy by gesturing toward umpires during his dismissal, seemingly questioning spinner Usman Tariq’s bowling action, which some observers noted involved excessive elbow extension. Tariq, known for his unorthodox action, has previously been cleared after testing and maintains his delivery complies with the 15-degree limit. The gesture, widely shared online, drew criticism from Pakistani commentators and fans, who called it unprofessional. Pakistan won the match and the series 2-0, with Salman Agha scoring 76 and Usman Khan 53. Tariq responded with a social media meme, fueling further debate. The third T20I is set for Sunday.
