EXCLUSIVE: Sky Sports Introduces Bodyguards to Protect Australian Pundits at Headingley after Outbursts from England Fans at Lord’s
- Sky teams up with bodyguards to ensure safety of Australian pundits following events at Lord’s
- Angry spectators directed their opinions at Ricky Ponting in London
- Protection will be provided for Mark Taylor and Mel Jones in Leeds
Sky Sports will employ bodyguards to protect their Australian pundits during the continuing Ashes series at Headingley, starting on Thursday.
Following the heated scenes at Lord’s, which were triggered by the contentious dismissal of Jonny Bairstow, former Australian captain Ricky Ponting faced a barrage of criticism from irate spectators while working for the broadcaster in the outfield.
In response to concerns that the upcoming match may become similarly hostile, Sky will introduce their own security guards to ensure the safety of former Australian opener Mark Taylor and former Australian women’s star Mel Jones, who will both be present in Leeds. Ponting will be absent for the third Test as he will be on a family trip to France.
Sky has made this move as a precautionary measure, prioritizing the well-being of their talent. While it is believed that the increased security will not be necessary, this decision highlights the mounting tensions surrounding the upcoming fixture.
