IND vs AUS: After a verbal dispute on the second day of the Adelaide pink ball Test, the ICC is preparing to take action against Mohammed Siraj and Travis Head. During the third session of Day 2, following Travis Head’s dismissal, Siraj responded to some rude words with inappropriate remarks. The issue was later raised at the press conference. After hearing both sides, the ICC may take action. However, neither player is at risk of missing the Brisbane Test, as such matters usually result in minor sanctions.

Travis Head – I said something and he heard something else

It is worth noting that Australia has registered an easy 10-wicket win in the Adelaide Pink Ball Test. Travis Head played a brilliant innings of 141 runs in 141 balls, leveling the series 1-1. On Saturday, during the third session, Mohammed Siraj dismissed Travis Head, and an unpleasant incident took place. Head said in the press conference that I said something good about the bowling, but he heard something else.

Head is Lying – Mohammed Siraj

Mohammed Siraj quickly responded to Travis Head’s statement, labelling it as false. He clarified that while he celebrated, he did not utter any words, and accused Head of lying during the press conference. Siraj mentioned that although Head claimed he said something positive about me, it didn’t appear that way from his behaviour. He added that while cricket is a gentleman’s game, he didn’t appreciate Head’s conduct towards him.

Travis Head said, “Siraj has come out and said it was a bit of a misunderstanding. We’ll move on, let’s not ruin a great week. Me and Siraj are sweet, and we move on”. (ABC Sport). pic.twitter.com/Eh2tkvRnDL
