Former Pakistan cricketer Salman Butt has said that critics will keep chirping about certain things and it is no use explaining everything to them and the latest LED lights at the Gaddafi Stadium cannot be blamed for the injury that Rachin Ravindra sustained. This came after the latter's injury while trying to catch a ball in the first game of the ongoing tri-series against Pakistan on February 8.

Ravindra was struck flush on his forehead after he couldn't spot the ball under the lights. The player bled and was taken off the field after a small treatment.

Butt has defended the Pakistan Cricket Board, arguing that New Zealand players had no problem spotting the ball under the lights when they were batting.

"There's no point trying to make people understand when they don't want to. It's irrelevant. These are some of the latest LED lights that have been installed, so these are fine. When New Zealand players hit sixes off deliveries bowled at close to 150 kph, were the lights not working then," Butt asked while speaking on a local news channel.

"A player who was standing 70 meters away failed to take the catch because of his misjudgment. He is a fine fielder, but perhaps his leg slipped and he got hurt," Butt added.

New Zealand Cricket on Sunday said that Ravindra sustained a laceration, or a skin wound, on Saturday, February 8 during the match against Pakistan in Lahore and is doing well at the moment.

The unfortunate incident happened during the 37th over of Pakistan's innings when allrounder Khushdil Shah smacked a ball from Michael Bracewell for a big shot. Ravindra was very close to catching it but the ball hit his forehead and he began bleeding.

Ravindra didn't feature in New Zealand's match against South Africa on Monday and it needs to be seen if he plays in the tri-series final on Friday.
