Yashasvi Jaiswal was left angry over a questionable umpiring decision on Day 1 of the second unofficial Test against England Lions in Northampton on Friday, June 6. The India A opener couldn’t believe his misfortune as the umpire raised his hands on a debatable LBW shout by England seamer Chris Woakes. While the sharp inswinger from Woakes seemed to be going down the leg side, the umpire gave Jaiswal out when he was beginning to set his eyes in. Jaiswal, who had reached 17 off 25 deliveries with two boundaries, was rapped on the front pad by Woakes’ incoming ball on an attempted flick. The movement was supposed to take the ball past the stumps, but the on-field umpire gave the left-hander out, leaving him bemused. Jaiswal showed his dissent by standing his ground and refusing to make the walk back. The youngster even signalled to the umpire that the ball was shaping down the leg side. Jaiswal lbw 17 to Woakes … not sure he necessarily agreed with the decision pic.twitter.com/b3w7dHP5uA — Ali Martin (@Cricket_Ali) June 6, 2025 Jaiswal only started going back to the shed after a good 10 seconds trying to tell the umpire the ball would’ve missed the three stumps. With no Decision Review System available for the series against England Lions, the 23-year-old had no choice but to relent and start a painstaking walk to the Indian dressing room. Jaiswal was left shattered by the on-field call after hoping to build on his gains from the first unofficial Test in Canterbury. One of the rising stars in the young Indian batting juggernaut picked for the challenging tour of England, Jaiswal had struck a fluent half-century in the second innings of the first unofficial Test. He made 64 off just 60 deliveries in the closing hours of the drawn encounter after missing out in the first half following a watchful 24 off 55 balls. Jaiswal will now join the senior Indian squad for an inter-squad clash against India A in his final chance to firm up preparations for the five-match Test series against England, starting June 20. He was one of the positives from India’s strenuous tour of Australia, amassing 391 runs at an average of 43.44, including a century in Perth, in India’s 3-1 series defeat.
