Hafeez reveals chat with Rizwan after his disputed dismissal

 Hafeez revealed his  discussion with Rizwan after the  redundancy and emphasized the need for conclusive  substantiation to capsize on- field  judges'  opinions.

 The alternate Test between Pakistan and Australia was marred by contentious umpiring  opinions that sparked contestation during Pakistan's pursuit of palm on Friday.   

The match took a controversial turn during Mohammad Rizwan's  redundancy , leaving the wicketkeeper- batsman visibly stunned. The  pivotal moment  passed in the 61st over of Pakistan's alternate innings when Pat Cummins appealed for a caught behind against Rizwan. originally dismissed by the on- field  arbiter, Cummins  decided for a review suspecting a possible glove touch by Rizwan.       

        Upon review, the third  arbiter anatomized multiple angles and detected a shaft as the ball passed the wrist band, leading to a reversal of the on- field decision. still, the hotspot technology failed to display any mark as Rizwan turned down from the ball at the  pivotal moment.  

     Hafeez, speaking in thepost-match presser, revealed his  discussion with Rizwan after the  redundancy and emphasized the need for conclusive  substantiation to capsize on- field  judges'  opinions.  " I spoke to Rizwan, and I believe he's a  veritably honest person. 

        He told me that the ball didn't touch anywhere near the gloves, and there should be conclusive  substantiation to capsize the decision of the on- field  arbiter. Grounded on what I know, the  arbiter gave it not out, and there was no conclusive  substantiation for the decision to be capsized. I do not know what  further to say. In this case, the technology turned out to be a curse rather than  commodity helpful," Hafeez said.   It's worth noting that Australia  settled the palm by dismissing the callers for 237 runs in their alternate innings, leaving Pakistan falling short of the 317- run target set by the hosts.
