The throat-cutting celebration of Haris is getting a lot of attention over Twitter.
Former Australian rugby league player Darryl Brohman condemned this act as he said, “Not sure we need the throat-cutting gesture from Harris Rauf every time he takes a wicket.”
Not sure we need the throat cutting gesture from Harris Rauf everytime he takes a wicket. Clearly a very good bowler but the post wicket antics are over the top. Who’s with me?

Hope he gets fined for his celebrations

How is that slashing of the neck appropriate ?

Not so sure the slitting of the throat celebration fits in with Australian culture….
