Earlier Zaman additionally doused the flames by saying that it was his fault and never Quinton de Kock. “The fault was mine as I was too busy looking out for Haris Rauf at the other end as I felt he’d started off a little late from his crease, so I thought he was in trouble. The rest is up to the match referee, but I don’t think it’s Quinton’s fault,” the 30-year-old instructed ESPNCricinfo within the post-match press convention.
