Siraj and Head Face ICC Disciplinary Action

Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj and Australian batter Travis Head were involved in a heated exchange during the second Test match in Adelaide, leading to criticism from the cricketing fraternity. The altercation followed Siraj's dismissal of Head with a yorker, resulting in an animated celebration and a verbal spat. Both players are reported to face minor disciplinary action by the ICC for breaching the Code of Conduct, though suspensions are unlikely. Australian pacer Josh Hazlewood defended Siraj, likening his passionate nature to Virat Kohli's and praising his character. Despite contrasting accounts from Siraj and Head regarding the incident, the players appeared to reconcile with a friendly chat later in the match. This controversy underscores the fierce rivalry in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.
