During the second Test match that took place at Lord’s on August 2021, the English national broke through the security perimeter, donned an Indian jersey, and entered the playing field while pretending to be a member of the Indian cricket team.

During day two of the fourth England-India Test match, which took place at The Oval in London, England, Jarvo allegedly assaulted England batsman Jonny Bairstow. This incident led to Jarvo’s arrest the following month.
