Jaker Ali shows sportsmanspirit during WI vs BAN T20I, refrains from taking run after seeing West Indies star injured

Bangladesh batter Jaker Ali showed great sportsmanspirit after he refused to take the third run following Obed McCoy’s injury in the third T20I against West Indies at the Arnos Vale Ground in Kingstown on Friday. The incident unfolded on the 14th over of Bangladesh innings. 

Reacting to a fullish delivery from Gudakesh Motie, Jaker swiped over mid wicket. McCoy covers a good length to his left and dived forward, attempting for the catch. The West Indian failed to hold on to the catch and injured his shoulder in the process. McCoy was down with pain. 

Jaker and Shamim Hossain completed two runs and the third run was on. But seeing McCoy injured, the former decided not to run for the third. Jaker’s gesture caught the attention outside with the commentators praising the Bangladeshi youngster for his sportsmanspirit.
