Fans and local media have hinted at a “big announcement” on the cards, without providing further details.

Fans on social media have been quick to speculate, with many believing the emotional scene could be a farewell moment. However, with no official word yet, it remains to be seen whether this is indeed the case or simply a much-needed lighthearted moment during an intense Test match.
