Mohammed Siraj-Travis Head Fight: ICC to Take Action After Heated Exchange in Adelaide Test

India vs Australia: The Pink Ball Test between India and Australia was quite heated, with Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj indulging in a verbal tussle with Australian batsman Travis Head. It happened on the second day of the match after Siraj bowled a stunning swinging yorker to dismiss Head for 140 runs. On that dismissal, Siraj's aggressive send-off provoked him and Head.

Fans and Media React

It didn't go well with the Australians, who began taunting him from the boundary lines. Even former Australian cricketers and the media came against Siraj. Siraj dismissed Head's allegations and called them baseless.

ICC Disciplinary Hearing

The ICC also took note of the incident by summoning both players for a hearing. According to reports, both players will present both sides, but neither may face suspension since the events captured on camera do not call for severe punishment through the ICC Code of Conduct.

Players Resolve the Issue

The spat seemed to fizzle out on the third day of the match when Siraj and Head were photographed discussing the issue during Siraj's batting. It has been reported that the two players tried to make amends and put the whole thing behind them.

Crunch Moments of the Row

Over and Exit: Siraj bowled out Head with a yorker and shouted to the dressing room.
Head's Counter: After the game, Head claimed that he complimented Siraj for the ball but received verbal abuse as a response.
Siraj's Response: Siraj responded that he was offended by Head when he began to use foul language against him.

Game Effects

However, both of them still participated in their respective teams without further distractions after the third day, which focused once again on the game.
