The International Cricket Council (ICC) may take action against Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj and Kangaroo batsman Travis Head after a heated argument during Australia’s first innings in the second Test match of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. This incident happened on the second day of the Adelaide Oval match, when Siraj ended Head’s 140-run innings with a brilliant in-swinging yorker. After this, the Australian fans targeted Siraj near the boundary and pushed him badly.
The debate between the two players will be heard
According to media reports, a debate will be heard between the two players. Both teams can breathe a sigh of relief as neither Head nor Siraj will be banned as the ICC Code of Conduct provides for lesser punishment for arguing. After the second day’s play, Head said in the press conference that he had praised Siraj after his dismissal, but in return the Indian bowler abused him.
What did Siraj say on Head’s statement?
Before the start of the third day’s play, Siraj refuted Head’s claim and said that the Kangaroo batsman had earlier misbehaved with him and that is why he reacted like this. He said, ‘When you hit a six on a good ball from a batsman, it excites you in a different way. When I bowled him, I celebrated and he abused me, which everyone saw on TV as well.
I did not like it at all – Siraj
He further said, ‘I just celebrated and said nothing further. What he said in the press conference is not correct. He only praised my bowling which is a complete lie. It is for all to see that he did not tell me so. We respect everyone. It is not that we disrespect other players. I respect everyone because it is a gentleman’s game. But what he did was not right. I did not like it at all.’ When Siraj came to bat on the third day of the match, he had a conversation with the head. Here both of them talked and ended the matter. After the match both the players hugged each other.
