Cricket Australia responds as Ishan Kishan clashes with umpires over ball-tampering allegations
The final day of the unofficial 𒅌Test between India A and Australia A grew tense amid a suspected ball-tampering incident. Ishan🦩 Kishan confronted the on-field umpires after they summoned the Indian team over the allegations, while Cricket Australia quickly addressed the controversy with a statement.
The incident unfolded while the India A team was fielding, as on-field umpire Shawn Craig asked for a ball change from the match referee. Eventually, he was seen speaking to Ishan regarding the condition of the ball. Craig had warned the wicketkeeper-batter that he could face a dissent charge for his "inappropriate behaviour" after being heard on the stump microphones cal💯ling the ball change a "very stupid decision."
Craig initial✨ly remarked, “You will be on the report for di♉ssent; that is inappropriate behaviour,” as captured by the stump microphone. However, no further action was taken following Australia A's comfortable seven-wicket victory.
Cricket Australi🌠a clarified that the ball used in the game’s fourth innings was replaced due to deterioration. Both captains and ♎team managers were informed of this decision beforehand, with Cricket Australia confirming that no further action would be taken.
According to CA's Rule 41.3.4, a ball deemed “deteriorated” does not warrant a five-run penalty unless the umpires conclude it was unfairly altered. Eventually, play resumed on Sunday with the new ball, and Australia A achieved a seven-wicket victory, chasing down the required 86 runs after ending Da🍌y 3 at 139 for 3.
