Joe Root on India's ball-change outburst: Can't keep slowing the game down

Joe Root weighed in on the ongoing Dukes ball controversy, admitting that its early softening has made life tougher for bowlers. However, the former England captain stressed the importance of adapting to such situations rather than disrupting the flow of the game. His remarks seemed to lightly reference the incident on Day 2 of the Lord’s Test, when Shubman Gill and Mohammed Siraj were involved in a brief exchange with the umpires over a disputed ball change request.
