In a rare occurrence in cricket, a coach stepped in to field for his side in an international match. On Monday, former South Africa batter and now batting coach, Jean-Paul Duminy, had to step in as a back-up fielder for his side as a fair few regular players of the side had walked off the field due to fatigue, during the final ODI against Ireland.
With the heat in the UAE proving to be challenging for the players, Duminy stepped in as a substitute and even made an excellent one-handed save.
JP Duminy was spotted in the field in the 50th and final over of the Irish batting. Almost immediately, Duminy was called into the action.
Irish batter Harry Tector mistimed a reverse sweep, and Duminy - fielding at short third-man - made sure he couldn't capitalize one bit.
