What is red card in cricket?: If you are a football enthusiast, then you must have seen one thing. If a player misbehaves, then the referee shows him a red card directly. After showing the red card, that player has to leave the field.
This is a common thing in football, but have you ever heard that a cricketer has received a red card and had to leave the field? You may have heard less, but this has happened in the Caribbean Premier League.
Actually, St Kitts and Nevis Patriots and Trinbago Knight Riders faced each other in the Caribbean Premier League match. During this match, the umpire showed the red card. Therefore, Andre Fletcher had to come on the field with 10 players in the last over.

This rule has been implemented in the Caribbean Premier League competition. This rule has been brought so that the bowling team has to complete the overs within the stipulated time. If the bowling team does not complete its overs within the stipulated time, then one player of the team is thrown out of the field.
Red cards are common in football, they are not often seen in cricket. Is this the first time a red card has been given in cricket? So the answer is no.
Red cards have been given many times in cricket before. But the reasons for this have always been different. In football, if a player pushes or misbehaves then a red card is given. But in cricket, a red card is given for a different reason.
The incident of red card in cricket happened in 2005. The umpire at that time was Billy Bowden. A T20 match was going on between New Zealand and Australia. At that time Glenn McGrath was shown a red card for throwing an underarm ball.
