‘Jarvo 69’ was banned for life from Headingley for violating safety rules

Youtuber Daniel Jarvis will not be allowed to enter the Headingley Cricket ground for life, and he will have to pay a hefty fine after he interrupted play on day 3 of the third test on Friday.

YouTuber Daniel Jarvis, popularly known as ‘Jarvo 69’, has been banned for life from the Headingley cricket ground and fined by Yorkshire county for interrupting play between England and India on Day 3 of the third Test at Leeds.

Jarvo had walked into the field padded up, ready to take guard, after the fall of Rohit Sharma’s wicket on Friday, before ground security got into the act and dragged him out.

This was the second time Jarvo breached the security cordon and managed to enter the field of play after the Lord’s Test last week.

“Yes, Daniel Jarvis will be banned from Headingley for life. We will also be imposing a financial penalty,” a Yorkshire CCC spokesperson told PTI when asked how the county deals with this kind of transgression.

Asked what kind of measures will be taken to avoid such embarrassment which has now happened twice, the spokesperson said: “As on previous days, there will be stewards present around there to stop anyone that attempts to get on.”

On Friday, just after the fall of Rohit Sharma’s wicket, ‘Jarvo 69’ was seen popping up from the gallery located on one side of the sight screen, wearing batting pads and a blue helmet with a surgical face mask on.

Someone from the crowd also threw a cricket bat as he entered the field of play and reached the pitch to take guard when the ground security personnel intercepted him. He was promptly evicted from the Headingley premises.

Earlier, he had also walked his way into the Lord’s ground on Day 4 of the second Test between the two sides and was seen setting the field for the Indian team, leaving the spectators and viewers in splits.
