Coach of Pakistan’s Test team, Jason Gillespie, picked up all the empty bottles and put them in a dustbin after the team’s training session on Tuesday, ahead of the series-deciding third Test against England, beginning in Rawalpindi on Thursday.
England won the first match by an innings and 47 runs, while Pakistan came back to clinch victory in the second by 152 runs.
The video of coach Gillespie, which is doing the rounds on social media, shows him picking up empty bottles around the practice nets at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

Some of the users on social media lauded Gillespie’s “grace”, while presuming that the empty bottles were thrown around by the Pakistan players, who left those as is before exiting the training area.
“Hats off to Mr Gillespie,” wrote one fan.
Meanwhile, the ground staff at the Rawalpindi stadium are doing everything possible to dry up the wicket as much as possible in order to help the Pakistan spinners, especially Noman Ali and Sajid Khan, who took all 20 English wickets to fall in the second Test at Multan.
Three heaters and fans are being used on either side of the track in order to dry out the 22-yard strip.
The second match of the series was played on the same track in Multan that got worn-out and cracked after being used in the first Test, which assisted the Pakistan spinners.
