Morgan received support from former Australian cricketer Mark Waugh, who left a noteworthy response to the viral tweet. “The worst thing is it seems that teams are using it as a deliberate planned way to get a wicket,” Waugh said in his tweet.

Former Indian Venkatesh Prasad replied to Waugh’s tweet and wrote “Yes right , Bowlers planning to get a player out by legal means is the worst thing. Batsman wanting to take unfair advantage by not staying back in the crease is the best thing.”
