May 24: The Telegraph report by Tim Wigmore states that an anti-corruption official reprimanded Pakistan’s players for wearing smart watches on the opening day of the first Test at Lord’s, ordering players to stop wearing them. “An ICC anti-corruption officer came to us and told us this is not allowed,” said Pakistan player Hasan Ali. “So next time nobody will wear them.” “I didn't know earlier that anyone was wearing one.” Smart watches must be disabled to comply with ICC anti-corruption regulations. Two Pakistani players - Babar Azam and Asad Shafiq - appeared to be wearing the watches during the day, though there is no suggestion of any wrongdoing in this instance.
