Maybe you should stop doing it. Whether we like or not, it’s law in the game. As for spirit of the game, the players didn’t do anything wrong right? #healthydebate

Disgusting! Once again WI junior team involved in a matter that goes against the spirit of the game. Law or not, I’ve seen @ABdeVilliers17, @stevesmith49 and @imVkohli pass ball back to fielder. Follow their example youngsters! Play hard but play fair within spirit of game! https://t.co/wePF1N3rKS

Follow the rules, that’s the spirit of the game right?

So what will happen now..a player should practice what happens in the field.
So when you bowl to me in the nets. You come down and get it out of the net! #iamnottouchingit https://t.co/jqxbyTQpIG

Can't believe what I am seeing @ICC #U19WorldCup. WI appealed for handling the ball. The ball had stopped rolling & the player picked it up.

God that is ugly. But a lesson to all. Don’t ever touch the ball when batting. https://t.co/2LF2AyfE2J

Technically the correct decision, but this type of dismissal is different from virtually all others in that the batsman is actually trying to help the fielding team rather than gain advantage. https://t.co/G3n9j0UxcW

ICC need to scrap it from the law as a dismissal. Perhaps say the batter can be punished under normal penalty for getting sweaty gloves on the ball if the umpire deems unsportsmanlike conduct. But cannot be dismissed for it.
