<p>A father plays an influential role in a child’s life, and the same happens on a cricket field. Eminent cricketing names such as Mohinder Amarnath, Heath Streak, Chris Cairns, and Shaun Pollock were influenced by their fathers and followed their footsteps, entering the cricketing world. &nbsp;</p>
<p>All these notable names served their national teams exceptionally and took their fathers’ legacy forward successfully. Some names also became bigger figures. Late Kevin Curran, who played 11 international matches for Zimbabwe, couldn’t see his younger son <strong>Sam Curran</strong>’s debut for England. Currently, Sam is one of the best all-rounders in white-ball cricket and can be said that he has surpassed his father in terms of success in this game.</p>
<p>Similarly, Peter Pollock’s son Shaun Pollock did a magnificent job for South Africa from 1995 to 2008 and ended his career as one of the most successful bowlers for the Proteas. In the history of the sport, some intriguing father-son incidents have occurred that attracted a lot of eyes. &nbsp; &nbsp;</p>
<h3>Here are four father-son incidents that grabbed a lot of eyeballs:</h3>

<p>In the third Test of the Ashes 2023 at Headingley Cricket Ground,&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-players/mitchell-marsh" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mitchell Marsh</a></strong> was inducted into Australia’s playing XI and was his first appearance in red-ball cricket in four years. On the difficult batting surface, Marsh stood at the crease and hit a ton to help his team put up a decent score of 263 runs on the board. Eventually, his 118-run knock went in vain as the hosts England won that game with three wickets in hand, but an adorable picture of Marsh’s family went viral during the game.</p>
<p>With the completion of Marsh’s century in the game, his father Geoff Marsh and elder sibling Shaun Marsh were seen celebrating his century wildly at a bar in Bali, Indonesia. Marsh’s brother Shaun shared the video on a social media site, in which he along with his family was watching the game.</p>

<p>Former Kenya cricketer Subhash Modi was active in international cricket as an umpire until 2010. He was seen moderating a lot of matches between associate nations. In his nine-year career, he stood in 32 international matches (23 one-day internationals and nine T20 internationals).</p>
<p>In 2006, when Bangladesh toured Kenya for three ODIs, Subhash was an on-field umpire in all three games. Interestingly, his son Hitesh Modi was playing for Kenya in the series. In the second ODI between both sides, Mashrafe Mortaza picked up three wickets and helped the Bangla side register a two-wicket win.</p>
<p>Mashrafe’s one of the four victims was Hitesh, who was dismissed through leg-before-wicket (lbw) in the 14th over of the game. The decision against Hitesh was given by his father Subhash, whom Mashrafe appealed to after the ball hit the striker’s pad. It is the only incident in the history of cricket when a father delivered a decision against his son.</p>

<h3>2. Misunderstanding between Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Tagenarine Chanderpaul leads to run-out</h3>

<p>Shivnarine Chanderpaul served the<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-teams/west-indies" title=" West Indies " target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong> West Indies</strong></a> team from 1994 to 2015. The southpaw played 454 international games in his immense career and retired with more than 20,000 runs. In Tests, he is the only batter who has scored more than 11,000 runs for the Windies. Shivnarine’s cricketing legacy is going ahead as his son Tagenarine has been serving the Windies team in Tests since December 2022.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In February 2018, Shivnarine played his last List A game for Guyana in the Super50 Cup. Shivnarine joined his son Tagenarine at the crease in the second innings. After adding 13 runs, the partnership between the father and the son broke as the latter ran out due to his father’s straight shot that struck the bowler’s foot and found the way to hit the stumps at the non-striker’s end.&nbsp;</p>

<h3>1. Chris Broad penalises Stuart Broad for using foul language</h3>

<p>Former <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-teams/england" title="England" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>England</strong></a> batter Chris Broad could not go big for England but his son Stuart Broad achieved a lot of success for the nation. In 2023, Broad announced his retirement from international cricket and concluded his Test career as the second-highest wicket-taker with 604 scalps in 309 innings of 167 matches. &nbsp;</p>
<p>Chris Broad participated in international matches as a match referee in several games since 2003. In August 2020, he was seen in the match referee box during the first Test between Pakistan and England at the Old Trafford Ground. As COVID-19 was prevalent in those days, the International Cricket Council (ICC) relaxed its rule of having a neutral match referee.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In the second innings of the game, Stuart dismissed Yasir Shah and used foul language against him. Noting his son’s misbehaviour, senior Broad imposed a 15% fine on him. Along with the fine, Stuart also received a demerit point.&nbsp;</p>
